Umar Akmal decides to ‘forgive’ fans

LAHORE: Pakistan cricketer Umar Akmal has decided to “forgive” the fans who “attacked” him outside his house a few days ago.

Akmal had filed a case against four persons, accusing them of attacking him at his house earlier this week.

“We will not challenge the suspects’ request for bail,” Akmal’s lawyer told media.

The cricketer had registered an FIR against the suspects at Police Station Defence B, following which they were arrested.

The batsman has also decided to withdraw a petition he had filed in court, expressing lack of confidence in the judge hearing the case.

A few days ago, four fans of the cricketer showed up outside his residence in Lahore to get his autograph. When Akmal refused to entertain them, a heated exchange took place. Akmal called the police to his residence after which the suspects were arrested.
