Information
A stunning accusation!
As of now, numerous accusations relating to Babar have been reported by Indian and Pakistani publications. The one that stunned everyone is that Babar promised the woman to keep her boyfriend in Pakistan's XI if she kept sexting him.
Controversy
Babar was accused of sexual harassment in 2020
This is not the first time Babar has been thrust into a controversy. In November 2020, a woman accused Babar of sexual harassment. Speaking vehemently in a press conference, the woman said the star batsman has been exploiting her for 10 years. The woman, who claimed to be Babar's school-mate, claimed that he promised marriage in 2010 but backtracked once he rose to fame.
Claims
Here is what the woman claimed
The woman claimed that she supported Babar financially when he was bursting on to competitive cricket. As per her, Babar physically abused her and gave threats before she went to the police. She also asserted that the Pakistani captain proposed marriage in 2010 and the duo had eloped for a court wedding later on. However, Babar changed his mind eventually.
