Imad Wasim Controversy: Fresh controversy has engulfed Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim after his former wife, Sannia Ashfaq, levelled serious accusations against him on social media. Over the last few days, Sannia has used Instagram to voice her grievances, accusing the cricketer of cheating and failing to support her during pregnancy. She even referred to him as a “murderer” in one of her posts, alleging that he forced her to undergo an abortion in 2023. Her latest posts allege that Imad left her during a critical phase of her pregnancy with their third child.
Recently, Sannia sought to reinforce her claims by posting screenshots of WhatsApp conversations reportedly exchanged between the two in July 2025.
