LAHORE, Mar 14 (AFP): Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal was Friday cleared in a traffic violation case after the police officer forgave him, saying he was a "national hero".
The 23-year-old was arrested by Lahore police on February 1 for violating traffic rules and scuffling with policeman Mohammad Zeeshan.
He was released on bail after being detained for hours and a local court last month issued a warrant against him, ordering him to appear on March 11.
