Former Pakistan cricket captain and legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram lashed out at the media for using his photo in reports about a man arrested in India with the same name.
In a social media post, Akram advised everyone to double-check any account or person using his name on social platforms before believing or sharing such news.
He claimed that a man named Wasim Akram had been arrested in India on espionage charges, but Indian news channels mistakenly used his image in their reports.
In a sarcastic tone, Akram said in Punjabi, “Koun log ho tusi, kithon aaye ho? No checks, no balance — just random comments without even seeing it’s not my account!”
He further advised fans to stay calm and verify information before reacting.
It is worth mentioning that a YouTuber named Wasim Akram was recently arrested in Haryana, India, on allegations of spying for Pakistan.
