LAHORE – Renowned Pop-star Hadiqa Kiani has filed a defamation suit against British website Metro-UK.com for baseless news regarding drug bust.
According to reports, on February 14 the British news website quoted local authorities saying that Hadiqa Kiani was arrested for trying to smuggle 2 kilograms of cocaine hidden in two bags of coffee inside two suitcases.
“Customs and Border Protection police officers searched her suitcases upon suspicion and found a plastic coffee bag containing white powder,” the report said.
The news story was picked up by a leading daily (Dailytimes) as well. However the ‘Boohay Barian’ singer strongly denied media reports that she was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London.

Hadiqa took to Twitter and uploaded a photo of herself adding ‘I have been in Lahore, today is my nephew’s birthday. SHOCKED’.
Hadiqa has now filed a suit against the website for the fake news.
