F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Hiba Fawad, wife of Pakistan Terheek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry, has expressed mistrust on police by saying that the law enforcement agency might “recover” some objectionable or illegal stuff by placing it themselves inside her house under the pretext of ‘search warrant’.

Talking to journalists in Islamabad, Hiba Fawad raised concern over ‘search warrant’ and said that the police might “recover” some objectionable or illegal stuff by placing it themselves inside her house.

She regretted that Fawad was taken to court handcuffed and head covered “like a terrorist”, urging the authorities to ‘stop such treatment’.

Chaudhry’s wife further said she was not being allowed to meet her husband despite the court’s orders, requesting Punjab caretaker Chief Minister (CM) Mohsin Naqvi to allow her daughters to meet their father.

Hiba said she was ready to file a petition “if that is the only way my children and I can meet Fawad”.
