Judge Malik said that when he was serving as assistant district and session judge in Multan from 2001 to 2003, Tariq first intoxicated him and then proceeded to secretly make compromising footage of him. “He [Mian Tariq] manipulated the compromising video into an immoral one with the intent to blackmail me,” the judge added. “Years have passed and four months ago I came to know that Mian Tariq sold the footage to Lahore-based PML-N leader Mian Raza,” the statement goes on to read. Judge Malik added that the videos are being used as propaganda against him and the judiciary. On December 4, 2018 judge Malik had handed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif seven years in jail in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference.
