Pakistan cricketer Sohaib Maqsood has accused a car showroom owner in Multan of committing a massive fraud involving a vehicle worth Rs14 million.
The national player has appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to order an investigation into the matter.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Sohaib claimed that the showroom owner sold his vehicle without original documents, which are still in his possession. “The owner sold my car worth Rs14 million without papers and gave me another vehicle in exchange, whose documents turned out to be fake. He also took an additional Rs7 million from me,” the cricketer wrote.
Calling the incident “a serious case of fraud,” Sohaib urged the Punjab government and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to take swift action. “If a national cricketer like me feels helpless in such a situation, imagine what ordinary citizens must go through. We must protect people from these fraudsters,” he added.
In a follow-up post, Sohaib revealed that eight months later, he located his vehicle at a house in Lahore, but the person there refused to return it, claiming ownership. “When I asked for the documents, he arrogantly said that no one — not even the police — could take the car from his house,” Sohaib wrote.
The cricketer expressed hope that authorities would take strict action against those involved, stressing that rule of law must prevail to protect innocent citizens from such scams.
