Munawar Faruqui Denies Arrest Amid Viral Video and Social Media Rumors
A viral video on social media claimed comedian Munawar Faruqui was arrested, linking it to his absence from the Entertainment Cricket League Season 3 curtain-raiser. Munawar dismissed these rumours, responding sarcastically that he was also searching for himself in the video, indicating he was not the person shown. He further shared a spoof video referencing the alleged arrest, which was praised for its humor. No credible reports confirm his arrest, and the claims appear misleading.
