LAHORE: An additional district and sessions’ judge on Thursday has directed Lahore police to register a First Information Report (FIR) against national cricket team captain Babar Azam on a woman’s plea for fornicating with her on promises of marriage.
According to the court order, serious allegations of miscarriage/abortion and deceitful intercourse on the false assurance of marriage etc. were levelled against the proposed accused.
“From a bare reading of the application of the petitioner, the bench directs SHO police Naseerabad Lahore to record the statement of the petitioner under section 154 of Cr.P.C and proceed further strictly in accordance with law,” it added.
On December 5 last year, it was reported that the police had disproved the harassment allegations against cricketer Babar Azam in a police report submitted in the court of additional district and sessions Judge Abid Raza Khan.
The report revealed that “neither petitioner Hamiza Mukhtar nor her family members were blackmailed and harassed by police at the behest of Azam’s family. So the allegation levelled by her to the extent of ‘harassing, blackmailing and pressuring’ is proved false”.
The judge also disposed off the petition, directing the respondents – Babar Azam’s family members and Defense-A police – to “follow the law as nobody is above the law and remain within the four corners of law and not to cause undue and unlawful harassment to the petitioner”.
Mukhtar in her petition had contended the court that “we had fallen into love with each other, illicit relations continued between them for a long time. As a result of which she became pregnant but Azam got her aborted consoling her [that] he will marry her but it is not good for us if you gave birth to a child before marriage”.
