    ‘Not good for Pak cricket’: Ramiz Raja after Yasir Shah’s involvement in rape of minor girl

    Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja on Wednesday addressed the recent controversy surrounding spinner Yasir Shah and said that it is not good for cricket in the country.

    Shah was booked in a case registered at Islamabad’s Shalimar Police Station for allegedly aiding in the rape and harassment of a 14-year-old girl. In the first information report (FIR) that has been registered, the girl stated that Yasir Shah’s friend Farhan had allegedly raped her at gunpoint and then filmed the act.

    “Yasir Shah is a circuit player and it is a no-brainer on whom players need to hang out with and socialise with, while we train and educate these players, they are in ambassadorial positions and should know with whom and where to socialise,” said Raja while addressing the media on Wednesday.

    “I don’t know what is the truth in this case but it is a fact that such headlines are not good for Pakistan cricket and especially at a time when there is a feel-good factor going through Pakistan cricket now,” he added.

    The girl had further stated that Yasir Shah had warned her of severe consequences if she went to the authorities to tell about the incident.

    “Yasir Shah said that he was a very influential person and that he knew a high-ranking official. Yasir Shah and Farhan make videos and rape underage girls,” she has stated in the FIR.

    Responding to the entire incident, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had said: “The PCB is presently gathering information at its end and will only offer a comment when in possession of complete facts.”

    Yasir Shah has played 46 Tests for Pakistan, managing to take 235 wickets with his best figures being 8-41.

    Chunian child rapist-murderer given death sentence on three counts
    
			
    A special court on Tuesday awarded the Chunian child rapist-murderer death sentence on three counts, along with a life sentence on one count and a fine worth Rs3.2 million, for one of the four rape and murders he had committed earlier this year. He has also been directed to pay Rs200,000 compensation to the legal heirs of the victim.
    

    According to reports, the court awarded the verdict to the 27-year-old rickshaw driver over the murder of only one of the four children, whose remains were recovered back in September. However, the cases of the remaining minors are still pending before the court.
    

    On October 1, the perpetrator Sohail Shahzad was arrested by police in a case pertaining to the rape and murder of four minors in Chunian, located about 70 km south of Lahore. Four children — aged between eight and 12 years — had gone missing since June this year with the latest, eight-year-old Faizan, disappearing on the night of September 16.
    

    Soon after, the remains of three of them were found on September 17 from sand dunes near Chunian bypass. The discovery sent waves of shock and terror among the residents who protested against the continuous cycle of child abuse in the area.
    

    Considering the matter was of grave concern, Prime Minister Imran Khan took notice of the incident, ordered an inquiry and overhauled the local police set-up. 
    

    Two weeks later, Shahzad was arrested after his DNA matched with samples recovered from the remains of a victim. During the initial questioning, Sohail confessed to sexually abusing and killing all four children. 
    

    Due to security concerns, the trial against the convict was held at Kot Lakhpat Jail. A total of 23 witnesses recorded their statements against the convict.
