Karachi : Within a day of touching down in Pakistan after being in hiding for five months in London, runaway wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider has landed in a legal soup with Kamran Akmal's father-in-law filing a Rs 100 million defamation case against him.
Haider, after returning home yesterday, told a television channel that Kamran's father-in-law was a bookmaker and was involved in match-fixing.
Badruzaman, the lawyer for Kamran's father-in-law, told PTI that the defamation notice had been dispatched to Haider's home address last evening.
"My client is a well reputed businessman and he will not tolerate such allegations. Haider now has to either produce evidence to back his allegations or make a public apology or face legal action," he said.
The lawyer said his client had served a Rs 100 million defamation suit on the former Pakistan keeper. PTI
