Ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif’s special advisor and senior journalist, Irfan Siddique has been declared ‘not guilty’ by the law on Friday.
Siddique was booked under tenancy law violations act of the penal code alleging that he had rented out his house without informing the police. The case was registered under Section 188 at the Ramna police station.
Another man named Javed Iqbal, who was a tenant at the house, was taken into custody along with Siddiqui.
The police submitted an official report asking the court to discharge the accused from all allegations.
Siddiqui demanded that those who built the case against him should be tried for the salacious accusations, to which justice Amir Farooq rebutted that he held it within his rights to file a request on the matter which will then be taken into consideration by the court.—INP
