Back in 2019, Reham Khan published a video on her social media platforms accusing Zulfi Bukhari of corruption.
According to her, Zulfi Bukhari carried out a corrupt plan with PM Khan to sell or acquire the Roosevelt Hotel at an undervalue. Consequently, Zulfi Bukhari then sued her for defamation.
Moreover, Zulfi Bukhari won the first round in the defamation case against Reham at the Royal Court of Justice at a trial of preliminary issues. Justice Karen Steyn determined the meaning of the eight publications as the subject of the defamation claim. She also accepted submissions from Zulfi’s lawyer Barrister Claire Overman that her client had been defamed widely.
As per the settlement, Reham Khan will pay the sum of £50,000 (Rs11.6 million) as a contribution towards Zulfi Bukhari’s costs and damages.
