Allegations of match fixing

The Sunday Times carried out a sting operation on a Delhi based bookie based on allegations that the ICC World Cup 2011 semi-final between India and Pakistan was fixed. A Hindi film actress was indicated to have been used to lure cricketers. The report included a blurred image resembling Mehta, who denied any role in the sting.[4][5] She is considering to sue the British Paper.[6] On 11 June 2012 Mehta was questioned by ICC's anti-corruption officer Alan Peacock in Mumbai.[7]
