ISLAMABAD - A day after threatening to make public ‘bomb-like’ evidence against the son of Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, real estate tycoon Malik Riaz levelled several damning allegations against the judiciary, saying the top judge was aware of the scam for six months but took no action. “The Chief Justice should also tell the people how many times he has met me in the dark of night,” Riaz said. Claiming that the CJP’s son, Arsalan was running the judiciary like a “don”, Riaz alleged that the evidence against Arsalan was brought to Justice Chaudhry’s notice six months ago by a “mutual friend” but the judge refused to see the proof. Riaz said he had made no allegations against Justice Chaudhry but had been ‘saddened’ that the top judge had heard his case in view of a conflict of interest. “I can be called for contempt of court or sent to jail, I am ready to die. A person who has put his future at stake is not afraid of jails.”
