The incident unnerved me but later I reported the matter to the police station of the area," he said.Street crimes are common in Pakistan's biggest city, Karachi but are witnessed on a lesser scale in Lahore.Asif, who has also served a few months in jail in the United Kingdom for spot-fixing last year, was also banned by the ICC's Anti-Corruption tribunal in Feb, 2011 for his role in the scandal that broke out during Pakistan's tour to England in 2010.PTI
