Pakistani police arrest bookies

PAKISTANI police have busted a gang of bookmakers who were behind death threats to wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider.

Haider fled the Pakistan team hotel in Dubai last November hours before a one-day international against South Africa. "We arrested eight bookmakers yesterday and some of them have confessed they had the threatening calls made to Zulqarnain," Nasir Qureshi, a senior investigating police officer, said. The bookmakers running an illegal den were arrested from the Sambrial area near Sialkot in the eastern province of Punjab. "We have recovered around 250 mobile and landline sets from them, some ammunition, records and computers," Qureshi said.
