Umar Farooq Zahoor, a Pakistani businessman, born in Norway and currently residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is consulting lawyers to move legally against a Turkish businessman, Erhan Kanioglulari, who had charged him of usurping his money and got a false case registered against him at Karachi’s Artillery Maidan Police Station. 

The Turkish national had also moved the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against Umar Farooq. The bureau conducted an inquiry into the complaint and later a NAB court exonerated the Pakistani businessman of all charges. 

Earlier the session court in Karachi, on March 31, 2008, had also acquitted Umar Farooq after hearing the case submitted by the Atillery Maidan Police Station as per FIR No. 97 of 2004 under section 506 PPC. The session court had acquitted the businessmen under Section 265 K CRPC in Sessions Case Number 546 of 2004. 

According to Umar Farooq, the Turkish man, by lodging a false report against him, had put the public servants to use their lawful powers to the enquiry of the applicant. 

He alleged that the offence of giving false information to the police constitutes as offence punishable under Section 182 PPC and the accused had committed a cognizable offence punishable under Section 389 PPC. 

He stated that he was pursuing civil remedy in the High Court for damages in connection with malicious prosecution and blackmailing done by Erhan Kanioglulari against him not only at Artillery Maidan Police Station but also filing a false application to the NAB authorities. 

Umar Farooq has further asked his lawyer that to keep the record straight and to wash away the bad impression created in the public domain as his name having appeared on websites should be get removed with immediate effect.
