    A sessions court in Islamabad on Thursday ordered registration of a first information report (FIR) against Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Investment Sardar Tanveer Ilyas for harassing a man through WhatsApp and sending him “sexually explicit videos”, reports Dawn.

Ilyas who according to the petitioner is the owner of Centaurus Mall, invited him to his residence for Iftar dinner which Faheem accepted considering it a business meeting.

    Following the meeting, the CM’s adviser sent a few messages along with “sexually explicit videos” to Faheem from his WhatsApp number, which the latter found disturbing, and which caused him “mental agony and trauma”, according to his lawyer.

    He reported the matter to the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Cyber Crime Cell, Faheem’s lawyer said.

    After the case was taken to the sessions court by the complainant, the FIA submitted its reply, saying the forensic analysis was conducted on the mobile phone of the petitioner and it transpired he had in fact received the video.

    When Imran Abbas refused ‘Ram Leela’ and ‘Aashiqui 2’

    Imran Abbas revealed in an interview that he regrets refusing Aditya Roy Kapoor’s role in Ashiqui 2 and Ranveer Singh’s role in Ram Leela, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The Thora Sa Haq actor refused these big-budget films as he was contract bound by another production house.

    In a candid chat on Speak Your Heart with Samina Peerzada the Khuda Aur Mohabbat star made these candid confessions, “Rejecting Aashiqui 2 and Ram Leela were one of the few decisions I regret at that time. Now, I don’t have any remorse. I did a Bollywood film which didn’t really work at the box office. When I was offered projects that went on to become some of the highest-grossing films of their times, I later realized that it was imperative to make the decision (rejecting them) that I took in order to get my perspective right,” shared Imran.

    He eventually made his Bollywood debut with Bipasha Basu in Vikram Bhatt’s Creature 3D. The Ae Dil Hai Muhskil actor will be seen next in Tumhare Husn Ke Naam co-starring Saba Qamar and Sidra Niazi.
