Nadir Shah

The names of five criminals infamous for their gang activity have come up in the investigation into the killing of a gym owner in south Delhi's posh Greater Kailash Part 1. Nadir Shah, 35, an Afghan-origin man, was shot dead on Thursday.

The gym owner who was shot dead in South Delhi's Greater Kailash area on Thursday night had come in the crosshairs of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang because he had asked his partner not to pay Rs 5 crore that the outfit had tried to extort from him.

Nadir Shah was banned in March 2013 by the Bangladesh Cricket Board after a sting operation by an Indian TV channel found him apparently willing to fix matches for cash.

Nadir Shah, who has stood in 40 one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals, was one of six umpires caught in the undercover investigation, including three from Sri Lanka and two from Pakistan.

Bangladesh Cricket Board has constituted a three-member committee to investigate into the allegations of fixing T20 matches by umpires as claimed by a television sting operation, a report said on Monday.

The recent sting operation, where an Indian TV channel shows umpires willing to fix decisions in leagues like the Sri Lankan Premier League, might have stung the world of cricket but it does not show any money exchanging hands and no evidence of the umpires actually doing what they agreed to do.

Former ICC elite panel umpire Darrell Hair is not at all surprised by the allegations of fixing against match officials, and said such rumours started doing rounds since the birth of the cash-rich Indian Premier League.

Umpires at the centre of a bribery scandal denied on Tuesday they were willing to fix matches for cash as cricket authorities announced an urgent probe into the allegations aired in a television sting.
