Ataur Rehman

An FIR has been registered against Samajwadi Party MLA Ataur Rehman and three others for allegedly trying to kill a man in the Bahedi area in Bareilly, police said.

Abdul Qadir, citing the two Pakistan players who were implicated in 2000 for match-fixing, said that Ataur Rehman and Salim Malik were mere scapegoats and questioned why Justice Malik Muhammad Qayyum's report on match-fixing wasn't enforced.

Former Pakistan cricketer Ata-ur-Rehman, who was the main character in the judicial inquiry in match-fixing allegations in the Pakistan team 12 years back, has threatened to sue ex-pacer Sarfaraz Nawaz for constantly defaming him.

Former Pakistani greats Saturday expressed disappointment over a life ban on leg-spinner Danish Kaneria but stressed the need for tougher action against fixing to avoid such incidents in future.
