KARACHI: Former Paki
stan cricket team captain
and test cricketer Wasim Akram has decided to resolve the matter out of court with the suspect, who allegedly shot at his car in a road rage incident in August, 2015, and withdrew the case.
During a court hearing of the road-rage shooting case on
Tuesday, former Paki
stan captain’s manager told the Judicial Magistrate-East that the former cricketer had reached an out-of-court settlement with the suspect.
However, the court demanded his presence and ordered that if he fails to appear, the investigative offic
ers would be dispatched to arrest him.
Later, Akram presented himself before the court and apprised the court regarding the settlement he reached with the car shooting suspect. The court then accepted the settlement and approved Akram’s request to end the case.
It is pertinent to mention that in August 2015, Akram’s car was fired upon
in Karsaz area of Karachi. The police’s investigation revealed it to be an incident fueled by ‘road rage’. Akram had lodged a complaint with Bahadarabad police, after which a case was registered against a suspect.
