A few weeks earlier, the former guitarist alleged that his sister, a huge sensation, was poisoned to death by her husband.

Zohaib Hassan in a statement recorded under oath in London maintained that he is not leveling allegations but articulating what Nazia had written about Ishtiaq Baig before her death.

However, in a counter-strike, Ishtiaq Baig turned down all allegations and accused Zoheb of being a close friend of Noor Mukadam’s murderer Zahir Jaffer.

Baig also maintained that the authorities in London also confirmed that the pop sensation died a natural death.

He alleged that Zoheb is giving all these statements for monetary benefits.

Ishtiaq Baig expressed that Zohaib never wanted Nazia to get married to anyone and his ex-brother-in-law is doing all to tarnish his reputation.
