Reham sends legal notice to ex-hubby

LONDON: Reham Khan has issued legal notice to her first husband Dr Ijaz Reham for allegedly running a “willful malicious defamatory” campaign for “personal gains or on behest of someone else” against her after her second marriage to Imran Khan which has now collapsed and the couple have divorced.
The legal letter claims that Dr Ijaz Rehman’s “comment in media affected her marriage with Imran Khan and made her life hostile” to the extent that Imran Khan’s marriage with her “ended in recent divorce”.
Muhammad Aslam Sheikh of West Ham Solicitors said he had been instructed by Reham Khan (aka Reham Rehman) to act on her behalf. In the “pre action legal letter”, Reham Khan has asked Dr Rehamn to apologise within two weeks or expect a defamation lawsuit and that the High Court could be approached to seek substantial damages in sum of £300,000.00 or an injunction to restrain Dr Ijaz from “publishing the same or similar statements in the future”.
The letter said that Reham Khan had gained “tremendous reputation across the globe and in Pakistani Diaspora more particularly in United Kingdom and Pakistan as a famous TV anchor, top rated journalist, writer and social worker”. The letter said: “Our client has strong believes that soon after her second marriage, your some of malicious comments in public about her marital life spent with you, which badly affected her relationship with Mr. Imran Khan.”
The letter said that recent interviews by Dr Rehman in various Pakistani media were “defamatory”. The row between Dr Rehman and her former wife started when Reham Khan claimed in an interview, in which Imran Khan was also present, that she was subjected to “domestic violence” in her marriage with Dr Ijaz Rehman.
Dr Ijaz Rehman, a senior NHS consultant, has maintained that he has never been involved in domestic violence and that her fair names was tarnished all over the world.
Dr Rehman has said that he is not part of any campaign and only spoke out against “slur to her name” after the broadcast which affected him and revealed his identity.
Dr Rehman has separately sued the broadcaster which aired the allegation. He says there is no conviction against him and nothing was found against him in any court of law in the UK.
