"We haven't been to India in 3 years."
A viral video claiming Pakistani cricketer Hasan Ali was assaulted by Indian police has been circulating online.
The clip spread rapidly across social media platforms, triggering widespread panic and confusion among cricket fans.
The video appeared to show individuals in official uniforms involved in a physical confrontation inside a crowded train coach.
Fans immediately began demanding answers about the safety of the internationally celebrated Pakistani fast bowler online.
However, a thorough investigation has confirmed that no such incident involving Hasan Ali took place anywhere in India.
Professional verification has established that the cricketer was not present on any Indian railway network during this period.
The individual seen in the viral footage is actually a lookalike who bears a passing resemblance to the pacer.
Upon closer examination, the face of the person involved in the scuffle is not clearly visible at all.
This made it easy for clickbait pages to deliberately misidentify the individual and build an entirely false narrative around him.
Hasan Ali’s wife Samyah Khan has since responded directly to the viral video, firmly setting the record straight publicly.
She confirmed that the couple has not visited India at all in the past three years.
Samyah also called on media outlets from both countries to verify news before publishing or sharing it online.

“The sad thing is that the public from both countries is so easily misled, and people it believes the false news and circulate it.
“We haven’t been to India in 3 years.
“Seems like people are missing us there and are seeking excuses to call us.”
Her response was widely shared and appreciated by fans across both countries who had grown concerned by the clip.
Many Pakistani netizens also pointed out that the man in the train video bears little to no resemblance to Hasan Ali.
Several social media users mocked what they described as a desperate attempt to generate controversy using fabricated content online.
Hasan Ali maintains a notable personal connection to India through his marriage to Samiya Arzoo from Haryana.
However, claims that he was travelling on a domestic Indian train or visiting relatives in cities such as Hyderabad are entirely fabricated.
Online rumours attempting to tie his family connections to the false incident have now been debunked.
