According to Maqsood’s detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), the dealer allegedly sold his car without obtaining the original documents, which Maqsood still holds. The same dealer then provided him with another vehicle with fake documents, while also taking an additional Rs 7 million from the cricketer.
“If being a national cricketer I’m helpless, I can only imagine what ordinary citizens must go through,” Maqsood lamented on social media. “We need to protect people’s hard-earned money from such fraudsters.”
Vehicle Found After 8 Months — “Even the Police Can’t Take It”
After nearly eight months of search, Maqsood revealed that he tracked down his original car in Lahore, parked at a private residence. When he confronted the person in possession, the man refused to return the car, claiming he had purchased it legally.
“I told him the car legally belongs to me, and that I could go to the police,” Maqsood said. “He replied that even the police couldn’t take it from his house.”
Police Take Action After Viral Post
Maqsood’s plea quickly went viral, prompting an official response from Multan Police. Senior officers including the Regional Police Officer (RPO) and City Police Officer (CPO) took notice of the case.
In an official statement shared online, the Multan CPO assured the public that “fraud with a national star will not be tolerated” and confirmed that legal action has been initiated. Authorities stated that the matter is being treated as a high-priority investigation due to its public implications.
Appeal to Punjab Authorities
Maqsood has formally appealed to Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Police, and other provincial authorities to intervene and bring the culprits to justice.
He stressed that this case should serve as a wake-up call for the system:
“If a public figure can be defrauded so easily, imagine the struggles of ordinary citizens.”
Many social media users echoed his sentiment, tagging Punjab government officials and demanding swift, transparent legal action against the accused.
Public Reaction and Rising Concerns
Maqsood’s ordeal has reignited public concern over the growing number of automobile-related fraud cases in Pakistan. Citizens have urged stricter regulations for car dealerships, mandatory document verification systems, and criminal accountability for fraudulent dealers.
Experts note that the incident reflects systemic flaws in vehicle registration and ownership tracking, making it easy for unscrupulous sellers to manipulate paperwork.
Police and Legal Experts Weigh In
Legal experts suggest that Section 420 (Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and Section 468 (Forgery for purpose of cheating) of the Pakistan Penal Code could apply if evidence confirms forgery and intent to deceive.
Police sources also confirmed that they are investigating all individuals connected to the deal, including the showroom’s owner and intermediaries involved in the car’s resale.
The Bigger Picture — A Call for Consumer Protection
The incident serves as a stark reminder that even celebrities and public figures are not immune to financial fraud. Authorities are under pressure to strengthen consumer protection laws and establish a centralized vehicle-tracking database that links ownership records across provinces.
Until then, experts advise citizens to:
- Verify all car documents directly through Excise & Taxation Departments.
- Avoid handing over vehicles without written agreements and CNIC verification.
- Report fraudulent activities immediately to local authorities.
