KARACHI: The Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Shaheed Benazirabad District on Tuesday arrested four policemen for allegedly taking bribes from national cricketers Sohaib Maqsood and Aamir Yamin, ARY News reported.
The cricketers in their tweet explained that after their team’s last match in the ongoing National T20 Cup in Karachi, where the Multan team was knocked out, the players were traveling to Multan from Karachi by road, where the Sindh police intercepted their vehicles.
