PAK vs AUS: Advocate Vineet Jindal Receives Death Threats From Hizbul Mujahideen For Filing Complaint Against Mohammad Rizwan

Vineet Jindal, the Delhi-based advocate, who had filed a complaint against Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, has received a life threat from a terrorist organisation.

Earlier this week, he had filed a complaint against Mohammad Rizwan for offering Namaz (prayer) on the playing field during the World Cup match between Pakistan and the Netherlands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Vineet Jindal wrote a letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and urged the governing body of the game to take action against Rizwan. In his writing, the advocate stated that Rizwan’s act of offering Namaz in the middle of a cricket match was an ‘intentional depiction of his religion’ and called it against the spirit of the game. Sharing the letter on X (formerly Twitter), he tagged the ICC, BCCI and the PCB.
