BAHAWALPUR: Ms Dania Shah, the third wife of MNA Amir Liaquat Hussain, has moved a local family court seeking dissolution of her marriage with the lawmaker, who also hosts TV shows.

As per a copy of the dissolution suit that went viral on social media and was also shown by some private TV channels, 18-year-old Ms Shah, who had married the lawmaker some four months back, stated she was daughter of Malik Mukhtar Ahmed, a resident of Basti Matma Dhola Chowk, Bahawalpur.

Ms Shah in the suit alleged that Mr Hussain was a drug addict and used to torture her. The MNA has refuted the allegations levelled by Ms Shah while talking to a private TV channel and on Twitter. He said that he would come up with more details later.
