Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has filed a complaint with the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) against TV channels over airing news about party chairman Imran Khan’s third marriage.
“A delegation of PTI, headed by Iftikhar Durrani, met chairman Pemra Absar Alam at Pemra Headquarters, Islamabad and handed over a formal complaint,” a Pemra statement said on Wednesday.

"Unethical of media to spread false news of my marriage based upon absolute lies," said the PTI chief.
Imran said channels showed pictures of women whom he had never known or met.

On Monday, the cricketer-turned politician had denied reports of his third marriage, saying he would celebrate in public after getting hitched.
