Babar Azam and Number Plate Issue
The stylish batsman is quite keen of cars and bikes as he owns a Audi A5, Hyundai Sonata and now this. Interestingly, Azam was in news for incident related to car when Excise officials stopped him over number plate issue. On May 19, officials approached his vehicle and engaged in a professional manner, fully aware of the significance that accompanies public figures like Babar.
The observant officers noticed an anomaly with the size of the numbers on Azam’s license plate, which deviated from the standard regulations. Prioritizing adherence to the rules, they recommended that Babar replace the non-compliant plate with a standard one.
In line with their duty, the excise officers meticulously verified Babar Azam’s documentation, including his vehicle’s registration and tax compliance. Their thorough examination confirmed what was expected – the cricket star had diligently fulfilled all his obligations, leaving no room for further scrutiny. This verification highlighted Azam’s unwavering commitment to upholding his legal responsibilities as a conscientious citizen.
Throughout the encounter, Babar maintained his composure, reflecting his calm and amiable nature. In a heartwarming gesture, he took selfies with the excise officers, showcasing his gratitude and recognition for their dedication to their duties. This act of kindness and respect underscored the significance of fostering positive relationships between public figures and the law enforcement community.
