Malik serves 2nd legal notice on Cynthia

By Ali Imran

ISLAMABAD: PPP Senator Rehman Malik has couriered Cynthia Ritchie a second defamation notice worth Rs50 billion, a statement by Malik’s spokesperson said on Tuesday.
A Rs500 million defamation notice was sent a day prior in response to Ritchie’s allegations of rape against the former interior minister.
Today’s notice was sent in connection with the US blogger’s appearance on various news channels on Sunday and “levelling baseless allegations” against the senator on air.
“Cynthia Ritchie’s accusations are a pack of lies. I strongly reject them,” said Malik. “She levelled undue and baseless allegations on television programmes,” he added. “I will have her answer for her lies in court,” Malik vowed.
