‘Azhar admitted taking money’
Outlook magazine said in its latest issue that Azharuddin, who has been banned for life by Cricket Board in the wake of match-fixing allegations, had “admitted” this in a hand-written note prepared by him after CBI had questioned him.
The note was seized from a home in Mumbai when income tax authorities had conducted raids against “who’s who” of Indian cricketing establishment in July, 2000.
The note, according to the weekly, was Azharuddin’s recollection of what transpired when CBI’s match-fixing investigative team grilled him for nearly eight hours.
It was obviously written to keep a record of what happened during his questioning and intended recipient seems to have been his wife Sangeeta Bijalani, it said.
Reacting to report the magazine quotes Azharuddin as saying, “what can I say. I cannot remember these things.”—Agencies
