Uzma Khan claims Usman Malik wanted to marry her

LAHORE: Actress Uzma Khan along with her sister held a press conference on Thursday to clarify the controversy that has emerged from a viral video.

Addressing a press conference at Lahore Press Club along with her lawyer, Uzma Khan clarified that the incident took place on Chand Raat – eve of Eid-Ul-Fitr – at her residence in DHA area of Lahore.

According to the actress, Usman Malik was already present that day and later his wife Amna Usman with both daughters of Mailk Riaz stormed into their home with gunmen and started threatening them.

Uzma also revealed that she and Usman were friends since two years but were not on talking terms since December 2019. She claimed that Usman had proposed to her but she had refused and will provide evidence in court.

“His family is also aware of it and I have evidence to prove that Usman was constantly contacting me after December 2019. He proposed to me and I refused. Amna or anyone else in her family has never contacted me before 23rd May. Usman is still calling and texting me and I will give evidence in court,” Uzma added.

Lawyer Main Ali Ashfaq, who was representing on behalf of barrister Hassaan Niazi, clarified that they will file an FIR against her baseless claims under the Prevention of Cyber Crime Act.

The lawyer also said that Amna Usman’s claim that the house belonged to her husband is bogus. He said he will provide proof of the rental agreement to the police which is signed by Uzma’s friend Babar Nasim who is not related to Usman or his family.

“Amna has accepted in her video that she barged into the house as she claimed it is her husband’s house and you can see the violence and threats in the video as well. Both these crimes are punishable but so far no arrests have been made,” the lawyer said.

Mian Ashfaq also said that his clients have no personal issue with Malik Riaz who is not directly involved in the incident but his daughters, Amber and Pashmina, have been included in the report.

He requested immediate security for Uzma and Huma Khan and an impartial investigation into the matter along with the immediate arrest of those involved in the incident.
