'Fake, doctored': PML-N's Muhammad Zubair on 'video leak scandal'

After footage purportedly showing Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Muhammad Zubair engaging in sex acts with an unidentified woman went viral, the former governor of Sindh categorically denied his involvement terming it to be a "new low in politics" along with claiming the video is "fake and doctored".

"Whoever is behind this has done an extremely poor and shameful act. I have served my country with honesty,integrity and commitment. Will continue to raise my voice for betterment of Pakistan," Zubair wrote on Twitter.

Earlier in the day, the mobile footage, which allegedly shows the PML-N leader in a bedroom with a blurred out woman spread like wildfire on social media with #ZubairUmar becoming the top trend on Pakistani Twitter.

Netizens intensely debated whether the video was real and if so, how the 'footage' was leaked.

A slew of politicians in the country have fallen prey to footage showing them not on their best behaviour. 

 Earlier this year, Special Assistant to the Punjab Chief Minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan made headlines as footage of her getting into a physical altercation with PPP MNA Qadir Khan Mandokhail went viral on social media.
