LONDON: Interior Minister Rehman Malik owns a private intelligence company in London, a British newspaper claimed in a report on Sunday.

According to the report, Mr Malik submitted overdue annual returns and accounts to the Companies House in respect of the spy agency 'Shaffaf Limited'. He has submitted the company's accounts No. 03908422, and annual returns until 15/02/2012, the accounts made up to 31/05/2010.

Interestingly, the company's registered office address is Shaffaf Limited, Suite 101-102, 38 Edgware Road, London, W2 2EW; and last week Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and PPP Chairman Bilawal Zardari had a lunch at the place.

When a TV channel sought Mr Malik's comments on the London Post's report, he rejected it and said he did not own such a concern.
