Property tycoon Malik Riaz has rubbished the leaked audio clip attributed to him on social media by terming it a product of the deep-fake technology.
He wrote on Twitter, “With latest technologies as deep fake, fabricating an audio conversation shouldn’t be a surprise. The audio associated with me on social media is obviously a product of this technology.”
“I don’t wish to involve in political campaigns of any party, but the most appalling fact is that my voice and reference are being misused to settle personal and political scores.”
“I absolutely detest these continuous attacks on me, now involving my family too. I intend to pursue this matter legally too and will be using all possible legal forums to find the people behind this conspiracy against me. Anyone found to be the originator and facilitator in spreading fake material will be taken to task.

He said that he do not want to be part of any political movement and that the fake audio clip was used to get some political benefits.
Riaz’s statement came after Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders played an audio tape — purportedly a conversation between the Bahria Town chief and his daughter – revealing how Farah Gogi ‘demanded a gift’ for former first lady Bushra Bibi.
During the conversation, the woman in the audio clip was saying to her father that Farah allegedly demanded a precious diamond as a gift for the ex-first lady in return for “removing locks” on a project site and withdrawing a report against her father.
