Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam has taken legal action against anchor Mubasher Luqman, issuing a Rs1 billion defamation notice.
The notice, sent through Azam’s lawyers, demands an apology from Luqman for allegedly making false accusations against Azam and his family on social media.
Luqman’s accusations reportedly included allegations of match-fixing, which prompted Azam to seek legal redress. The notice warns that if Luqman does not issue an apology, further legal action will be pursued.
In related news, Pakistan’s assistant coach Azhar Mahmood has also addressed the surge of accusations on social media following the national team’s performance in the ICC T20 World Cup. Mahmood expressed his concern on X (formerly Twitter) about the harassment faced by him and his family. He emphasized his right to take legal action against those spreading baseless claims without evidence.
