Lahore: Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal was yesterday 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. Akmal had denied the charges.
