The 1992 World Cup hero took to social media to address the false claims, emphasising that they were completely baseless. In the video, Moin stated, “Since this morning, news has been circulating that demonstrates utter irresponsibility. The person who posted this on social media related to my health and my death.”
He continued by reassuring his well-wishers, “Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I am very healthy, Alhamdulillah, and enjoying my life. I request you all to remember me in your prayers.”
The rumours sparked widespread reaction across social media platforms. Many fans were quick to denounce the claims, labelling them as fake and urging others to avoid sharing unverified information.
In contrast, some were initially startled by the news, offering prayers for Moin’s recovery until the video clarification appeared.
