Islamabad, June 5 (IANS) Two audio leaks have revealed that Farah Gogi, a close friend of Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, allegedly demanded a precious diamond gift for the ex-first lady from Malik Riaz's daughter Amber Riaz in return for 'removing locks' on a project site and withdrawing a report against Malik Riaz, Samaa TV reported.The audiotapes, purportedly the recordings of telephonic conversations between Malik Riaz and Amber Riaz, were aired on Sunday.The recordings show that Farah Gogi rejected a three-carat diamond sent by Amber Riaz as unworthy and unsuitable for the first lady, who she allegedly said routinely wore such things, and asked for a five-carat diamond.Gogi chastised Amber for sending only a five-carat diamond ring but promised that in return for a more valuable gift, Imran Khan would reverse measures against the property projects of the tycoon.Farhat Shahzadi alias Farah Gogi faces NAB cases and allegations of acting as a front-person of Imran Khan, but the former prime minister defended her as 'absolutely innocent' at a press conference on May 1, saying the probe against her was a political vendetta, Samaa TV reported.The undated phone recordings revolve around an alleged bribe for the de-sealing of a construction site, retraction of a report submitted in court, and issuance of a letter to the property tycoon.
