PTI worker approaches police to book Gulalai

PESHAWAR: A worker of the PTI has approached a police station in Peshawar with the request to register an FIR against MNA Ayesha Gulalai for defaming the party and its chairman, Imran Khan.

Gulalai on August 1 quit the PTI after accusing Imran and his ‘gang’ of immoral behaviour against women. Gulalai had claimed that the PTI chief had been sending her obscene messages since 2013, a charge vehemently refuted by the PTI.

On Friday, Muhammad Amir Khan – chairman of the PTI’s Youth Revival Committee PTI – submitted an application to the SHO of Peshawar’s Hayatabad police station, requesting him to lodge an FIR against Gulalai.



Requesting to invoke Section 499/500 of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), the application said Gulalai put him under immense mental agony as she “lied through electronic and print media by making false allegations against my party chairman Mr Imran Khan and my party PTI.”

When contacted, the SHO Hayatabad said they had received the application but it could not be entertained because it had no legal grounds. “[The PTI worker] has submitted an application but the crime has not been taken place in my area so he should instead go to the court and file a writ petition,” he said. “No FIR can be filed on the grounds provided in his application.”
