Faisal Amin Gandapur, brother of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, has filed a defamation lawsuit against the province's governor Faisal Karim Kundi in a session court following corruption allegations levelled against the provincial government.

Express News reported that Faisal Amin Gandapur is seeking Rs 500 million in damages and has included a private TV channel and its anchor as parties to the case.

The application states that Governor Faisal Karim Kundi made 'false allegations' on a TV show. It added that Ali Amin Gandapur is the Chief Minister and that the governor had damaged his reputation.
