A formal complaint has been lodged against former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram for allegedly endorsing a foreign online gambling platform. Muhammad Fiaz, the complainant, filed the application with the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Lahore on Tuesday. The legal notice seeks action under the Electronic Crimes Act of 2016, citing Akram’s alleged promotional activities for a sports betting app named Baji. According to the complaint, social media posters and a promotional video display Akram as the brand ambassador for the platform. Fiaz stated. “A poster circulating on social media and a video clip show Wasim Akram endorsing the online platform, which has sparked interest among general users in the App.” The complainant urged the NCCIA to pursue stringent legal measures if the allegations are verified.

The official added, “We will take action against him if the allegations are found true." The complaint follows a recent incident involving Saad-ur-Rehman, popularly known as Ducky Bhai, a TikTok and YouTube personality, who was arrested over promotional activities for the same app. While Akram has not yet responded to the allegations, the development has sparked debate among social media users and cricket enthusiasts alike. The case raises questions about the responsibilities of prominent sports figures when endorsing commercial platforms, especially those related to gambling. NCCIA’s review will determine whether Akram’s association with the app contravenes Pakistan’s electronic and cybercrime laws. The investigation remains ongoing, and further updates are expected once the agency completes its preliminary inquiries. No official legal notice has yet been served to Akram personally, and the matter continues to draw attention across media and public forums.
