ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has accused private media house Geo and anchorperson Shahzaib Khanzada for maligning him through “a baseless story cooked up by a known fraudster & internationally wanted criminal.”
The PTI chief said that he had spoken to his lawyers and planned to sue Geo, Khanzada and the fraudster not only in Pakistan, but also in UK and UAE.

Minutes later, Pakistan Muslim League (PMLN) Vice President Maryam Nawaz replied to Khan’s tweet calling for the PTI chief to show the receipts (of the gifts) instead of talking around. She said the one who called others a thief turned out to be the biggest thief of Pakistan.

On Tuesday, Dubai-based Pakistani businessman Umar Farooq Zahoor appeared on Geo TV and claimed that the PTI government had sold an expensive Graff wristwatch, gifted to former premier Imran Khan by the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, for $2 million, worth approximately Rs280 million at the time of sale (in 2019).
Zahoor said that he had bought the rare watch and three other Toshakhana gifts from Farhat Shahzadi, also known as Farah Gogi, for 7.5 million Dirhams in cash.
