      <title>Reham Khan to pay Zulfi Bukhari £50,000 after losing defamation case
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30269243/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The former special assistant to the prime minister, S Zulfi Bukhari has won his defamation case against Reham Khan in a London court, according to a report by Geo.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Imran Khan's former wife has to issue an unconditional apology in Urdu and English and pay £50,000 in damages and Bukhari's legal costs. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reham agreed to withdraw all allegations and apologised for broadcasting a defamatory video on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. She regrets re-tweeting three tweets carrying defamatory allegations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href="https://www.geo.tv/latest/375879-reham-khan-loses-defamation-case-to-zulfi-bukhari-to-pay-50000"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; by Geo's UK correspondent Murtaza Shah who said he saw the court papers, Reham agreed to "apologise and pay damages ahead of a full defamation trial in the case, following a determination at the same court in June this year when a judge found that the words uttered by her against Bukhari comprised chase level-1 defamation — the highest form of defamation which could be proven through facts only."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She has to pin her apology to her Twitter account for three consecutive days. The tweet below also includes a link to her YouTube &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1ecyzzXcmc&amp;amp;feature=youtu.be"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; in which she reads the same apology on video in English and Urdu. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/RehamKhan1/status/1448797012728688644"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bukhari sued the former broadcaster at the London High Court after she had published a video on her YouTube channel, Facebook, and Twitter on December 6 and 7, 2019, where she said he was involved in a "corrupt plan with the prime minister to sell or acquire the Roosevelt Hotel in New York at lesser value for his benefit." &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Shah said in his story, Bukhari  won the first round in the defamation case against Reham at the Royal Court of Justice at a trial of preliminary issues on 30 June 2021.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the news of Bukhari's win, social media users turned to Twitter to slam Reham and called her a liar. Many tweets contained foul language which we could not reproduce. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/LubainaHaq/status/1448841193148846081"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone thought the timing of her posting the tweet was noteworthy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/AliRazaTweets/status/1448843388602757129"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While others thought Imran Khan's supporters deserved an apology as well. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/agentjay2009/status/1448829144272416769"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many took delight in a sense of justice having prevailed. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;

            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
