Former South African cricketer Nicky Boje who presently is in India, to particaipate in the Indian Cricket League (ICL) Twenty20 tournament, is facing the heat of Delhi Police as the latter issued a notice to the cricketer, asking him to be available for investigation in his alleged involvement in a 2000 match fixing scandal. "A notice has been issued to Boje, but no date has been fixed on which he should appear," told DCP, Crime Branch, Madhup Tiwari. Boje has been booked under Section-160 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPc).
Boje, who is playing in ICL for 'Hyderabad Heroes' was at the centre of the match fixing scam, along with former South African captain Hansie Cronje and opener Herschelle Gibbs. Earlier, Boje has repeatedly shown reluctance in visiting India, even at the cost of opting out to represent his country on the Indian soil, just to avoid the investigation of Delhi Police.
Delhi Police had intercepted Cronje's conversation with bookies in India, in which, he was recorded striking deals for throwing away matches. Boje and Gibbs were also found guilty of being a part of their captain's conspiracy in the King's Commission inquiry held in South Africa and were heavily fined, but got away with just a six-month ban each, for their involvement.
