After a long wait of nine months, Pakistan’s national cricketer Sohaib Maqsood has finally recovered his car, which had been missing following a dispute involving a vehicle transaction in Multan. The 38-year-old batter took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news and express his gratitude to Federal Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for their support and swift action in ensuring the recovery.
In his post, Maqsood wrote, “I would like to pay a huge thanks to Mohsin Naqvi and Maryam Nawaz for helping out in retrieving my car after almost nine months.” He added that “Truth always prevails” and thanked the officials for their consistent communication and cooperation throughout the recovery process.
According to the cricketer, Punjab government representatives and police authorities had been in constant contact with him for the past few days, coordinating efforts to trace and return the missing vehicle. The recovery marks the conclusion of a prolonged ordeal that had initially attracted public attention after Maqsood shared his grievance online earlier this year.
Details of the Dispute and Police Action
The controversy began when Sohaib Maqsood sold a car worth Rs. 14 million to a showroom in Multan. In return, the showroom owner provided him with another vehicle valued at Rs. 7 million. However, complications soon arose over the remaining payment and allegations of cash fraud, leading to a dispute that eventually resulted in the car’s disappearance.
When Maqsood publicly highlighted the issue on social media, the matter quickly went viral, prompting immediate intervention by the Multan police and subsequent involvement from senior provincial authorities. The renewed focus on the case led to a concerted recovery effort that successfully brought the vehicle back to the cricketer after months of uncertainty.
Maqsood’s case underscores the importance of digital platforms in seeking justice and demonstrates the effectiveness of law enforcement coordination under Punjab’s current leadership. The incident also serves as a reminder of the risks involved in high-value private transactions and the need for greater transparency in such dealings.
