The Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Wednesday denied social media claims linking Professor Ali Riaz, special assistant to the chief adviser, to a woman spreading a video statement about him.
“Professor Riaz does not know the woman, and the video is false, fabricated, and baseless,” the press wing said in a statement.
According to the statement, the woman, named Atandranu Ripa, has been attempting to defame Professor Riaz on social media since Tuesday.

“Professor Ali Riaz has no connection with the woman spreading this video. Any claims suggesting otherwise are completely false and appear to have been deliberately propagated,” the statement added.
The government is closely monitoring the situation and may take action.
Ali Riaz has also requested the concerned to stop making such statements, otherwise legal action will be taken against defamatory and offensive content.
