Pakistani cricketer Imam-ul-Haq has landed himself in a controversy after a Twitter user accused him of having affairs with several girls and cheating on them.
The user leaked Imam’s WhatsApp chats with several girls, alleging that the cricketer had exploited them.
The incident has divided netizens with some questioning the cricketer’s conduct while others criticising the girls.
Later, the Twitter handle from which the screenshots of the cricketer’s chats were leaked was deleted.
“So apparently Mr. @ImamUlHaq12 was dating 7 to 8 (that’s we know of) women and kept using them and manipulating them. He kept telling them the whole time how he’s single. Some of the screenshots attached from girl 1,” a Twitter user wrote attaching screenshots of the cricketer’s alleged chat.
“Since when dating or not marrying someone you promised became a part of #Metoo. I can’t see #Imamulhaq harassing or asking for pictures. Stop misusing this to defame someone when its consensual. It’ll lose worth & actual victim won’t get help! How this come under #metoo,” another Twitter user wrote in Imam’s defence.
Imam was a part of Pakistan’s World Cup team and scored a century against Bangladesh in the mega event.
