The elder brother of Australian international cricketer Usman Khawaja was sent to jail on Thursday on charges of conspiring to co-operate with a fake terrorist plot.
Usman’s brother Arslan Tariq Khwaja admitted that he had written fake things in the notebook of his New South Wales University colleague Kamer Nizamdin in August 2018. He was jealous when he grew closer to Nizamdin’s female friend.
Nizamdin was arrested and falsely declared a terrorist in the media, but it was later revealed in police investigations that he was implicated.
Arslan also admitted that in 2017, he also called authorities against another man for being jealous of the love affair and accused him of visas and terrorism.
