ISLAMABAD, July 7(ABC): The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Thursday submitted its reply to a local court in Karachi over a petition against Dania Malik — the third wife of popular televangelist Aamir Liaquat Hussain who passed away on June 9 — stating that the petitioner is not the affected party.
A welfare organisation had filed a petition against Dania in the court of a district and sessions judge for posting an inappropriate video of Hussain.
The FIA officials informed the court that the family of the deceased TV anchor has not filed a petition against Dania yet.
However, the Agency noted that it acknowledges that uploading inappropriate pictures or videos is a serious crime and that it has the authority to launch action on such a petition but the petitioner “does not meet the criteria to be the affected party.”
Moreover, the FIA said that the petitioner hasn’t provided any major evidence to back their claim and does not have the eligibility to file such a plea. It moved the court to reject the plea.
However, the court adjourned the hearing till July 14, seeking arguments from the parties over FIA’s response.
