Haris Rauf breaks silence over viral video of altercation with fan

“As public figures, we are open to receiving all kinds of feedback from the public. They are entitled to support or criticize us. Nevertheless, when it comes to my parent and my family, I will not hesitate to respond accordingly. “It is important to show respect towards people and their families, irrespective of their professions,” he added.

In the clip that went viral, Rauf is seen walking alongside his wife as he bumps into a group of people. While the words exchanged aren’t audible in the video, they make the pacer lose his cool and rush towards one of the individuals.

Shaheen Shah Afridi also took to his X account in support of Rauf. “It is absolutely disgraceful how Haris Rauf was treated. No one has the right to belittle and disrespect another person. I’m also shocked by those who have shared this video. Why prioritize a few likes over our humanity? Stay strong, Haris. We stand united with you,” Afridi wrote.
