#MeToo case against Ali Zafar dismissed

“I have also filed a case against all the fake and other accounts being used to run a campaign against me on social media,” he alleged while going on to state, “It’s time to expose the truth via due process of law for which I urge the FIA to take strict legal action.”
Calling upon people to join him in asking Shafi to court, he said, “She should stop hiding behind fake accounts to fight her case and instead come to the court to face the truth.”
