The person who made this tweet deleted it from his account the next day and it was also clarified that this fake news had nothing to do with Babar Azam.
Dr. Nimo Yadav, who tweeted, wrote, “Bhai I have deleted my tweet. But it is still there on Fox News, Aaj Tak, NDTV, Hindustan Times, ABP, News18 and local newspapers.
Dr. Nimo apologizes to Babar Azam for this tweet. He says that I apologize to Babar and deleted this tweet on the request of an Indian cricketer.
However, at the same time, he does not forget to defend his actions. Where he writes, people who are saying that I should not have done this should not be enjoying my tweet. When it is about those people they dislike.
He says that I do all this for my own fun but I myself do not go to anyone to retweet or like my tweet.
