ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Test cricketer Yasir Shah on Wednesday has been declared innocent in a case pertaining to alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl.
According to details, Islamabad police have removed the name of Yasir Shah from the first information report (FIR) after the victim retracted from her previous statement.
The SHO Shalimar police station said that the cricketer has nothing to do with the assault case.
In December last year, the Islamabad police registered the case against Yasir for his alleged involvement in aiding the rape and harassment of a 14-year-old girl. The complainant alleged that Yasir’s friend, Farhan, raped her at gunpoint and also filmed her obscene video.
