FAISALABAD, Nov 2: A spokesman of the Raja Riaz family on Saturday rejected the claim of Ms Azra, second wife of ex-MPA Maj Sajjad Akbar, that her husband had been abducted and poisoned to death.

Terming the allegations baseless, the spokesman claimed that Maj Sajjad was admitted to a hospital where he expired due to heart failure.

Meanwhile, dua for Sajjad Akbar Khan would be held at his residence in Rajawala at 9am on Sunday.
