The controversial video of Shaheen Afridi is not the first of its kind, earlier such a video of British Pakistani boxer Amir Khan had also surfaced.

Why Post on Social Media?

Shaheen Afridi is not the first Pakistani cricketer to become a subject of controversy. Earlier, the batsman Imam-ul-Haq had also become the talk of the town after women accused him of cheating them.

The question arises is why people have become so comfortable sharing such stuff on social media. Either they have lost faith in law enforcement agencies or they don’t think there are authorities or institutions that can address their grievances and then they ultimately turn to social media.

There do exist such laws in Pakistan. victims, accused and anyone who faces such an issue can appeal to the authorities for getting justice.
