Rauf was one of the best Pakistani umpires till 2013, but a dramatic turn of events in his life led to his suspension as an international umpire. In 2012, Rauf was accused by a Delhi-based model of sexual harassment, and she even leaked some of their intimate pictures in social networking site.
She accused Rauf of promising to marry only to fulfil his sexual desires. She later withdrew her charges.
The Pakistani umpire was again in the spotlight in late 2013, as he was accused of cheating, betting and forgery by the Mumbai Police. He was reportedly involved in the 2013 IPL spot fixing saga. The ICC took prompt action and removed his name immediately from the officials list for the 2013 Champions Trophy.

Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
