Looks like an out of court settlement was made.

 

[Rana]

If Babar and his lawyers are not pressing defamation charges then it is obvious that she’s made a massive pay deal from this.

Who dresses up as if they are going to a mehndi function in order to publicly admit they lied on camera?? This was her big pay day!

 

[MenInG]

Sordid saga comes to an end - one almost feels sorry for this lady but clearly needs to be punished for doing this.

[thelandofthebravepeople]

This is so Bizar.
Looks like she got paid.

 

[Titan24]

It can be that as case proceeded she realized the punishment she was going to face due to putting false allegations and agreed to formally apologize to end this without any further action from Babar’s side.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

It was nothing but a lame attempt at g o l d d i g g i n g.

Most of us at PP called it

Oh yeah and a slap at faces of people who were using this women to 'humiliate' Babar and Pak cricket

We all know who I'm talking about

 

[Mamoon]

Got the money she was after. This was so predictable; you could see it coming from the moon.

Where there is smoke, there is fire. One can only laugh at the naivety and the gullibility of the posters and the fans in general who believe in the credibility of our players.

Our cricketers are uneducated. A little money and a little fame and they end up doing stupid things.

No Pakistan cricket who has ever been embroiled in a scandal of any sorts is truly innocent.

These players do worse stuff than what people think. Most of it does not become public knowledge because they are not caught or exposed.

Innocent and guilt cuts two ways but I am to some degree agreeing.

If Babar wasn’t involved, why pay off? She could keep her false allegations forever.

She likely had some proof and now this is settled with an NDA.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

She got what she wanted, I feel hate for both of them.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Babar has to the world's stupid person if he thinks that this statement from hamiza will clean his image.

 

[Ryw]

Why no punishment for the women? Wrong trend set by them in society #himtoo

 

[Rana]

The amount of Drama going on in Pakistan cricket these days.

Not sure I have seen so much drama in such a short amount of time in recent history

 

[Rayyman]

Looks like she got paid off.

Babar Azam does not seem to be the saint he is made out to be. Not sure why a player of such character was made captain.

Fakhar Zaman should have been made captain of the white ball teams at least. He is a good dude.

 

[Varun]

From the other thread:

What a tinpot.

We men shouldn't stand for this. Throw her in a jail cell as per the applicable law.

 

[BreadPakoda]

From the other thread:

Agree. However, Babar needs to lodge a complaint against her before she can be punished, right? Not aware of the laws.

 

[zain7077]

This video is from 2018.

 

[Saj]

This video is from 2018.

And your point is?

The video shows that she had previously denied any involvement with Babar, but then tried her luck.

 

[bilawal666]

And your point is?

The video shows that she had previously denied any involvement with Babar, but then tried her luck.

I was hearing somewhere that this video might hold no merit in a Pakistani court because it wasn't supervised by magistrates.

Don't know if there's any truth in that though...

But yeah it's plain to see that this is a shameless gold digger trying her luck for a quick buck.

Any evidence she was paid off or just a conspiracy theory?


Media shouldnt jump on these fake women making up stories against cricketers , it can ruin their minds and careers. They should demand proof before entertaining such claims.

 

[Slog]

The funny thing is that I had zero doubt it was true earlier but now I think there is no smoke without fire. Still probably not to extent of her allegations because they make no sense but they knew each other for sure.

 

[zain7077]

And your point is?

That’s exactly what I was trying to imply. She’s a liar.

 

[pillionrider]

In the OP video, she's showing the same kind of interest that I do when a website pops up an "Agree to these Terms & Conditions"

Nice work, she got paid...

 

[Yk313]

This video is from 2018.

Sorry, I do not understand. Both videos were made in 2018? If so, what’s the congruity with the article/excerpt?

 

[Muhammad Kaleem]

Its a sign of very low IQ to reach to a firm conclusion that the video proves that 'they knew each other for surer', 'an out of court settlement was made' or 'here is no smoke without fire'. I can make false claims also.

I can then a record a statement on stamp paper that I actually lied, he did not rape the goat but retain the other lie that he was my childhood friend. Gullible masses addicted to TV will believe the truth as well as the lie

 

[zain7077]

Nice work, she got paid...

The question is that if she got paid in 2018 then why did she come out and hold another press conference in 2020?

 

[Slim]

And your point is?

The video shows that she had previously denied any involvement with Babar, but then tried her luck.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] and to everyone else. She already denied in 2018, she was obviously trying to encash it in 2020. So, FGS before blaming Babar without proof which is immoral as well, please think before you hammer away on the keyboard.

 

[Greenstorm]

Whats wrong with Babar's character ?
He seems to be the most shareef guy out there.

The whole thing is a non-issue. If anything happened, at worst, it was consensual. Storm in a tea cup.

 

[bilawal666]

There has NOT been any out of court settlement.

The above is just evidence from 2018 that has been unearthed from Azam's camp to prove that this woman's a drama queen.

 

[silentkiller187]

How are we concluding she has been paid off if this video is from 2018? The new allegations are from 2020 2 years after this video?

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday suspended a sessions court order directing the police to register a case against Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam on a complaint of a woman accusing the cricketer of sexual harassment.

LHC’s Justice Asjad Javaid Ghural, while suspending the order, also directed the Naseerabad SHO and Hamiza Mukhtar to submit their responses in the case by February 8.

In the petition, Azam has stated that the sessions court ordered the registering of the case against him while ignoring facts. His counsel contended that Hamiza had filed a “fake case" against Azam to “blackmail” him.

He said that the woman settled the case with Azam in 2018. The petition added that the police have also rejected the claim of Hamiza receiving threatening calls from his client.

Azam urged the court to declare the order of the sessions court illegal.

Court orders police to record statement of woman

On Thursday, a sessions court had directed Naseerabad police to record the statement of the woman who accused Azam of sexually assaulting her.

The woman, identified as Hamiza Mukhtar, had filed a petition against Babar at the sessions court in December 2020, in which she claimed to be the batsman's neighbour and old school mate.

She said the cricketer had "tricked her into love" and "tortured" her when she demanded he marries her. She further alleged that she financially supported Babar when he was a "struggling cricketer," adding that she spent "millions of rupees on him".

A counsel for the petitioner had argued before the court that Babar allegedly raped their client under the false pretext of marriage.

"The petitioner and Babar were in love and had illicit relations, and she got pregnant out of the relationship in 2015", the woman's counsel said, adding that the accused, "in connivance with his friends, managed an abortion."

Issuing a ruling on the petition, Lahore Additional Sessions Judge Muhammad Naeem directed the police to record the statement of the woman under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, saying that it was "a sensitive matter and the police should take immediate action as per the law."

The court also ordered Hamiza to appear before the assigned Station House Officer (SHO) and get her statement recorded.

Neither Babar Azam nor the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued any official statements regarding the matter.

[Saj]

Regarding the video. It's a video from 2018 that was sent to me. The point being that she claimed she had never put her signature/thumb to this document and she has been saying that she put her thumb to a blank piece of paper that was put in front of her.

And more recently she came back with a demand of 15 crore, but was not paid even 1 rupee.

You should have mentioned the 2018 year in that tweet or clarified it in a subsequent tweet. Many people are still confused by your tweet and thinks it is a video of 2021.

He seems to be the most shareef guy out there.

Key word being seems.

DO NOT FALL FOR THE ACHA BACHAS.

Who is in cricket these days a "nice boy"? All of them do wrong. There's a handful of guys that i class as sharif.

However, in this matter it was clear that this lady was after fame and has come across as a Besharaam in my view, accusing somebody of something so big is never good and for that she needs to be punished. But, i would want Babar to be the bigger man and say i forgive you.

Babar is not the savior he is made out to be on this forum. Heck, even PCB overrates him.

I do agree that the lady was lying here. She is an attention-seeker just like a couple popular posters on here.

Nah i think in this instance he had nothing to do with it, I'm not the biggest Babar fan but he's far from overrated. Are you meaning as a player or as a character he's overrated?

How do you know that they had any exchange at all? This is an assumption that you are making. It is not uncommon for people to make false accusations, there have been plenty of women who have accused other sports people, celebrities etc of relationships then later turns out to be false.

This scandal may or not be true but you can’t say for certain

As a player, Babar is most definitely overrated. I cannot say anything about his character as I do not know him outside of his cricketing.

 

[Tubs]

Pakistani fans are so fickle. If we assume it were true and Babar had relations with her, why would that reflect badly on his character, and how is that related to his cricket? Consensual relations between adults are perfectly fine (though I think he was underage, so she would be in the wrong because of the power dynamic).

The age of consent is different in Pakistan but even then I think anyone with half a brain would know it was fake.

We’ll see how overrated he is on the 26th. He’s the only pakistan test batsman in the top 10 icc test ranking.

However, bro you couldn’t be more wrong thinking he was overrated and this is coming from someone who isn’t even his biggest fan.

Just go back to the posts from last month.

“Babar has replaced Root in the Fab 4”

“Babar is a better white ball bat than Smith and KW”

If that’s not overrated then I do not know what is.

I’d certainly rate Babar among those guys but would like to say he is his own class of player. Not saying he’s better but he’s one of the best talents in Pakistan cricket for me right now. He’s far from overrated and he can only get better not worse for me.

Take it easy, you are bashing too much.

 

[Tubs]

Yeah I think it's likely fake, but loads of people seem to be turning on Babar if it was true. Very embarrassing and says a lot about their mindset.

The fans that turn probably aren't as educated and will believe anything the media puts out there, however anyone logical can see it's all fake news. I mean just look at other cricketers like Afridi and Arshi Khan from India, Muhammad Shami and his scandal, loads i can mention out there. Plenty of this stuff out there, a perfect platform for attention seekers to get money.

LHC postpones hearing on alleged harassment case against Babar Azam​

The Lahore High Court (LHC) has adjourned the hearing of the alleged harassment case against former Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam.

The hearing, which took place in the Lahore High Court, was related to a petition filed in the harassment case against Babar Azam. During the session, the woman who was allegedly harassed also appeared in court.

In the absence of Babar Azam's senior lawyer, Barrister Haris Azmat, his junior lawyer requested to adjourn the case, which the court granted.

The court remarked that this case has been pending since 2021 and every time a request for postponement is made. The judge further stated to Babar Azam’s lawyer, "You have had a stay order since 2021, yet you do not appear in court."

The woman’s lawyer argued that this was a case of rape, alleging that Babar Azam had promised marriage and then assaulted her. The lawyer also claimed that the cricketer owed the woman Rs1.2 million.

The court granted the request for a postponement and adjourned the case until December 16, 2024. It also recommended sending the case file to Justice Asjad Javed Ghural for further proceedings.

It is important to note that this case was previously being heard in Justice Waheed Khan's court, where a stay order had been issued regarding the registration of the case against Babar Azam.

Previously the Lahore High Court had summoned the woman who filed a sexual harassment case against Pakistan cricket star Babar Azam for the next hearing on December 12.

The petitioner, Hamiza Mukhtar, had claimed that she and Babar Azam were in a relationship that lasted for a considerable period. She alleged that she had conceived during their relationship but was persuaded by Azam to abort the child.

According to Hamiza Mukhtar, Babar Azam had reassured her, promising to marry her and telling her it would not be good for their future if she gave birth before marriage.

Hamiza Mukhtar attached medical documents to the court, supporting her claims of the abortion and her relationship with Babar Azam. She stated that after realising she was being betrayed, she approached the Naseerabad police to file an FIR against Babar Azam. However, the matter was eventually resolved after Babar Azam promised to marry her.

However, Hamiza Mukhtar further maintained that after Babar Azam became a well-known cricket star, he ignored her and failed to honour his marriage promise.

She alleged that despite this, when she sought to file another FIR against Babar Azam for blackmail and fornication under the pretext of marriage, the police seemed unwilling to register the complaint.
