More trouble has found its way for the Pakistani skipper Babar Azam. As per reports, Azam might have been caught in a honey trap while sexting with the girlfriend of another Pakistani cricketer. A few chats, audio and videos have surfaced on social media platforms, but it is unclear who was the actual source of the media files.
The videos, audio and images were leaked on social media by an anonymous Instagram user who goes by the ID eish.rajpoot1. On the other hand, Babar fans have claimed these are morphed images, videos etc., and it is being done to hurt the cricketer’s image. Notably, Azam was previously charged with harassing and blackmailing a woman identified as Hamiza Mukhtar. She accused him of sexually harassing her and forcing her to have an abortion. Reportedly, Hamiza had approached FIA in connection to the matter.
It has been claimed that Azam allegedly told the woman if she continues to sex chat with him, he would let her boyfriend be on the team.
The Instagram posts by eish.rajpoot1 against Babar Azam
In a story, the user said, “Hope you get what you did. Can you not support a woman as a woman? Are you making noise because I am bringing his real face in front? The garbage will be revealed. He has to suffer for what he did. Everyone will see how he went around with 6-7 girls. He will face the consequences. Should we die in silence? I will reveal the truth before committing suicide.”
In another story, the user wrote, “There is noise in Allah’s baton. Everyone will know the truth. Have some patience. Wait and watch. The truth will be revealed. People jump in to defend this person. Is he honest, right? He is God for you. Show proof if he is not wrong.”
It was very difficult to understand the language user used. It was neither Hinglish nor Urdu written in English syllables. We tried our best to translate it.
In a video call recording, the face of Azam was visible with someone’s hand with nails, possibly a woman, on the other side of the video call. We cannot confirm the gender of the person on the other side just by looking at the fingers.
In another video, Azam was seen sitting in a car. It is unclear what the motive for posting the video was. In the post, the user said, “How can someone engaged to his cousin still talk to other 5-6 girlfriends? Wow, you think that’s how heroes should be? Such heroes should die; that will be better.”
In another story, the user alleged Babar Azam saw her stories.
There was another post allegedly screen recording WhatsApp chat with a voice note from Azam to the girl.
Action against Azam
In unrelated reports, there is buzz that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning to remove Azam as Test Captain. It is possible that the board may appoint three different players based on their performances in the respective formats. Geo News reported, “The PCB is mulling to strip Babar Azam from all-format captaincy and appoint separate skippers for all the three formats.”
