New Delhi, India
Pakistan captain Babar Azam can breathe a sigh of relief as a woman named Hamiza Mukhtar from Lahore has withdrawn all her allegations and complaint of sexual exploitation by the Pakistani cricketer. Babar found himself in a spot of bother after an additional Lahore session court ordered police to file a case against Babar following allegations of sexual harassment by Hamiza. However, the woman later withdrew all her allegations while taking back her complaint.
The Pakistani woman, in her complaint, had alleged that Babar had sexually exploited and harassed her after making false promises of marriage while adding that the Pakistan captain has also forced her to undergo an abortion.

Earlier, according to a report in PTI, the petitioner had annexed her medical documents as evidence in the court.

The judge said the allegations were very disturbing and serious to warrant a full investigation. Hamiza later confirmed that an FIR has been lodged against Babar at the Naseerabad police station before taking her allegations and complaint back in what can be termed as a u-turn.
Earlier, other additional sessions judge Abid Raza had ordered Babar and his family to not harass Hamiza, who had claimed that she was getting threat calls to pull out the case.
