A little-known Bollywood actress who was linked to cricket match-fixing allegations by Britain’s Sunday Times has said she was quizzed for two-and-a-half hours by the sport’s governing body. Nupur Mehta, who has denied any wrongdoing, told Tuesday’s Times of India that she met with Alan Peacock, an official from the International Cricket Council’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU), at a Mumbai hotel. The Sunday Times in March said Indian bookmakers had hired an unidentified Bollywood actress to lure cricketers into both match-fixing and spot-fixing, and used Mehta’s photograph to illustrate the story. Mehta told the Times of India she had been “given a clean chit by the ICC” after meeting with Peacock on Monday. “They are satisfied with the answers I have provided,” Mehta told the newspaper. “I have many friends who are cricketers and with whom I socialize... I also know a lot of international cricketers.” The ICC declined to confirm the meeting, saying that it does not comment on the activities of its anti-corruption unit.
