The screenshots of the alleged chats and private videos have reportedly been ‘leaked’, leading to a storm on social media, with some even claiming that Babar has been ‘sexting’ with the girlfriend of another Pakistani cricketer.

A user on Instagram made a post, seemingly targeting Babar, with the caption: “Hope you get what you did. Can you not support a woman as a woman? Are you making noise because I am showing his true colours? The garbage will be revealed. He has to reap what he sowed. I will reveal the truth before committing suicide.”

Babar himself is yet to react to the controversy. On Monday night, however, he did take to Twitter to post a rather cryptic tweet.

Babar wrote: “Doesn’t take too much to be happy”, with a picture of himself.
