Here is a copy of an FIR (First Investigation Report) which has been provided to LUBP through a reliable source. Our source claims that the report is 100% authentic.

Overall, the FIR highlights the moral and ethical bankruptcy of Pakistani media and its owners and managers.

The petitioner appears to have some genuine grievances against Mr. Arif Nizami. We hope that the Chief Minister of the Punjab or our guardian angel, CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry, will take some interest in this case.

This FIR shows how media barons get away with thuggery and crime. Punjab Government should take action and let the law take its course

First information report regarding an offence cognisable by the Police, reported under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
