Bigg Boss 4: Veena Malik a bookie, escort and money launderer??

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on November 10, 2010


By Team Futuristic Media Network

Several reports have surfaced in the past two weeks alleging that Pakistani wannabe starlet Veena Malik could have possibly been involved in various illegal and immoral activities. According to a report in Mid-day, more than one of Veena Malik’s former associates or acquaintances have alleged that she was a bookie and involved in fixing cricket matches and spot fixing. Several reports in the past have alleged that Veena Malik was involved in the flesh trade and worked as a high-class, jet-setting escort or call girl who was linked and seen with more than one high-flying cricketer.  She allegedly demanded her fees for escort services from more than one crickter and was also linked with an Australian cricket coach.

Media reports also allege that Veena Malik may have acted in soft porn films or similar C-grade film projects or posed for still shoots for adult men’s magazines.  A local Pakistani newspaper had linked her to some soft-porn racket in the past.  Apparently Veena Malik seems to have led the most colorful life compared to all the other inmates in the Bigg Boss house, which also possibly qualifies her to be on a Reality Show on Colors. With such a colorful past, Veena Malik seems to be most-experienced in the art of manipulation, trickery and the other associated dark arts – if we may call them that.

According to a recent news report in a London financial paper, Veena Malik was also part of international money laundering rackets or hawala trade. So much for her qualifications and her dossier, we wonder how she was given a Work Visa to travel to India and work here. With her allegedly criminal background and the stringent visa norms, particularly for Pakistani nationals, we won’t be surprised if Veena Malik had some special friends in the Ministry of External Affairs who helped her procure a visa.

IPL Scam: Lalit Modi accused of money laundering, match fixing and running a betting network

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on April 23, 2010


 

 

The Income Tax department has substantial evidence to prove that Lalit Modi is involved in money laundering, match fixing and abetting or running a betting network across the world according to various news reports in the media. A TV report says that a Delhi socialite Sameer runs a betting network on behalf of Lalit Modi who provides him with inside information on the status of the IPL matches. Whether all this evidence will stand up to the scrutiny of the courts is an altogether different story.

Meanwhile Lalit Modi has vehemently denied all these allegations. He said there was absolutely no betting in IPL matches. He also threatened to take any legal action against these reports. The source of these reports is a confidential dossier prepared by the Income Tax department about six months ago and now corroborated after additional information was obtained from the raids carried out on Lalit Modi’s offices including the BCCI and IPL head quarters.
