KARACHI: Pakistan’s all-rounder Aamir Yamin was humiliated by local police on Sunday after he attempted to overtake vehicle of a senior police official near Toba TeK Singh.
Amir, 27, is member of Pakistan’s T20i squad and is scheduled to leave for Dubai on Monday to join his side for the three-match series against Sri Lanka.
On Sunday, the all-rounder was travelling to Faisalabad when he tried to overtake a vehicle near Toba Tek Singh, which apparently offended DPO Toba Tek Singh Usman Akram Gondal.
And to punish Aamir for overtaking the vehicle, police took the cricketer to Gojra City police station where he was kept for more than two hours.
Aamir was released after Geo News reported the ordeal of national cricketer and PCB also took action.
However, police didn’t shy away from saying that the player was released after a warning.
Reached for comment, DPO Usman Akram Gondal said the cricketer was brought to police station for overtaking his vehicle.
"He was allowed to leave after being issued a warning," he said.
Aamir has represented Pakistan in three T20Is and an ODI.
