“Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content,“ the message on the page read when opened Nadeem's account.

However, Instagram accounts of several Pakistani cricketers — including Babar Azam, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi — remain accessible in India.


“Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice,” the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

“Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and it will get even stronger,” he had said.
