Woman accuses cricketer Babar Azam of 'rape'

A woman has alleged that national cricket team captain Babar Azam allegedly blackmailed and raped her, with promises of marriage in a petition submitted in a district and sessions court and prayed for the registration of an FIR in the same matter.  

"We had fallen in love," said the petitioner Hamiza Mukhtar. She claimed that the two had illicit relations, and when she got pregnant, the cricketer had her aborted and consoled her with promises of marrying her.

Attaching all medical documents as proof with the petition to prove her abortion and illicit relations with Azam, she implored the court that she approached the police when she felt the cricketer was 'betraying her'. She approached Naseerabad police to register the FIR against Azam, after which she claimed the national cricket team's captain assured her that he will marry her. This series of events, claimed the petitioner, resolved the matter between them.

She further claimed that after Azam got famous as a cricket star, he has been ignoring her and has now refused to solemnise marriage with her.

The petitioner further claimed that she once again approached the police to register the FIR, but the police seemed reluctant. The judge, Nauman Muhammad, sought a reply from the concerned police officials by December 4.

Harassment case also sought

In a similar petition, additional district and sessions judge Abid Raza sought a reply from police by December 5 in a petition filed by Mukhtar seeking an FIR against family members of Azam for allegedly threatening her of dire consequences and harassing her since she made the claim against the cricketer.
