Khaira’s counsel had earlier dubbed the matter as a “classic instance of political vendetta”. It was alleged that every attempt was being made to rope Khaira in as an accused with the solitary purpose to tarnish his reputation and public perception, notes a report by The Tribune (TT).
Khaira has been maintaining there was no substantive evidence available with the court to summon him as an accused.
