Irfan Mehsood, a renowned athlete hailing from South Waziristan with an exceptional record of achieving 100 Guinness World Records in martial arts and fitness, attracted attention when he returned a prize cheque of Rs0.5m to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Sports Department. Mehsood took to his social media platforms to express his discontent with what he perceived as disrespectful treatment from officials of the sports department.

Expressing his disappointment, Mehsood emphasized, “If you can’t respect us, don’t insult us.”
