The singer was accused of sexual harassment by Meesha Shafi after which Ali filed a defamation case against her.
Sources inside FIA confirmed that the actor had approached the agency’s cybercrime wing to submit an application against Iffat Omar, Ali Gul and others for 'maligning' him over social media by sharing different pictures and video clips. Ali Zafar termed the entire episode as a ‘conspiracy’ to tarnish his image.
Other people summoned by the FIA in light of the application include Fareeha Ayub, Maham Javed, Subha Gillani and Mohsin Syed, who will record their statements next week, while Iffat Omar has already recorded her statement with the agency.
