The Lahore High Court has pushed back the hearing of the alleged rape case against former Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam. The new date is set for December 16. This delay came after Babar’s senior lawyer was absent, and his junior colleague requested a postponement.
Serious allegations against cricketer
Hamiza Mukhtar, the petitioner, repeated her accusations in court. She stated that she and Babar had been in a relationship, during which he allegedly assaulted her after promising marriage. Mukhtar also claimed that Babar had made her pregnant and then convinced her to have an abortion.
“Babar Azam sexually exploited me, making me pregnant. He later persuaded me to abort the child, which she did,” she said.
Medical records submitted
To support her claims, Mukhtar has included medical documents with her petition. She also mentioned that the police had refused to file an FIR against Babar when she complained of “blackmail and fornication” back in 2021.
