He once again reiterated that him and Noor were in a consensual relationship. He accused the victim’s father and the state machinery for hiding facts in order to get him hanged. He said that the authorities were trying to cover up Noor’s friends who the victim had allegedly invited over for a drug party.
He also submitted medical reports from the US and Pakistan to show that he has been treated for drugs’ usage in the past. According to Zahir, Noor’s family was building up the case against him to get money out of his rich family.
