Ex-MHA official claims Pakistani cricketers trafficked drugs in India
Former Union Home Ministry Under Secretary R V S Mani alleged that Pakistani cricket teams and delegations trafficked drugs during visits to India.
Mani named former Pakistan cricketers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif as allegedly involved in drug-related incidents during their India tours.
Mani claimed that former Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer's death was linked to resistance against alleged drug trafficking.
Mani cited a 2006 Defence Intelligence Agency estimate that a significant portion of terror funding originated from the narcotics trade.
