Low profile with high stakesNeena Haridas in Delhi It does not even bear his nameplate. The two storeyed white house in the plush south Delhi Greater Kailash area hardly looks like it could ever be in the limelight. And that too internationally. But then, that is how Rajesh Kalra existed. Low profile, subdued, always avoiding the spotlight. At least that is how his neighbours describe him. The people who live on the ground floor find it difficult to digest that Kalra is allegedly involved in the high stakes cricket match-fixing drama which unfolded in the capital on Friday. Earlier in the day, the Delhi police filed the first information report naming Kalra and Sanjeev Chawla for having a hand in fixing some matches in the just-concluded India-South Africa one-day series for the Pepsi Cup. Despite the attention that Kalra has attracted, his house wears a deserted look. The lights are off on the first floor of the building where he lives. The dark stairway leads to a locked door. The man lived alone with his servant Ram Prasad, who now seems to have disappeared. Earlier in the day, rediff.com contacted Ram Prasad, who said: "Sahab is not here at the moment. I don't know where he is. I came in only this morning and he was already gone. People have been calling up and telling me the police have arrested him. But I don't know. I did not see anyone."
Cronje named in match-fixing scam
