Our Special CorrespondentNew Delhi: All India Football Federation (AIFF) has written to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) urging them to investigate the allegations that some of the Minerva Punjab FC players had been approached for match fixing. They will shortly let us know whether they would like to investigate," AIFF general secretary Kushal Das said, on Tuesday. Back in 2014, the CBI had set up a sports integrity unit to probe into allegations of sport frauds including betting and match-fixing. Minerva Punjab, the current leaders in the I-League with 26 points, have written to the AIFF twice this month alleging their footballers have been approached for fixing matches. Last Sunday, Minerva Punjab owner Ranjit Bajaj wrote to the federation again, saying another five players have received similar messages.
