LONDON: Nazir Ahmed, the member of House of Lords in England, Wednesday hired a lawyer to fight sexual harassment allegations. Lord Nazir was earlier accused of exploiting his position to pursue intimate relationships with vulnerable women who asked him for help. Reportedly, a statement was issued by Imran Khan and Partners – the law firm hired by Lord Nazir – stating that “Lord Ahmed wishes to make it clear that he strenuously denies these allegations. Zaman told Newsnight that Lord Ahmed said he wrote a letter to the Metropolitan Police Commander Cressida Dick about her concerns. He abused his power.”The relationship ended after two months when Lord Ahmed told her he would not leave his wife, she said.
