Actress and host Nadia Khan has been cleared from defamatory charges levelled against her by PPP leader Sharmila Faruqui, who filed a suit with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) cybercrime for insulting her mother Anisa.

The FIA’s Sindh cybercrime wing head Imran Riaz posted a video on his Instagram and detailed that the 42-year-old got a clean chit in the defamation case filed by Sharmila.

“I would like to discuss the case filed by PPP MPA Sharmila Faruqui against actress Nadia Khan, claiming that she [Nadia] tried to defame the former’s mother,” Riaz said in the video.

The FIA official said that the 40-minute video which was shot by the Zun Mureed star at a wedding was closely reviewed by his team.

He further added that they did not find any defamatory word or sentence about Faruqui’s mother in the video.

“We didn’t find any such content that proves that Nadia filmed the video with deliberate intentions to disrepute Anisa,” said Riaz.

The FIA official concluded saying: “As far as sarcasm or facial expressions are concerned, the law is silent on this, therefore, Nadia has been cleared in this inquiry and the investigation has been closed.”

For those unversed, Nadia Khan and Sharmila Faruqui have squared up to each other after the former shared a video on social media, apparently mocking the politician’s mother.

Here’s the video:

In the viral video, Khan could be seen sarcastically praising Anisa for the bold makeup she wore at a wedding.

However, the clip enraged Sharmila, who in turn, decided to pursue legal action against the morning show host.
