It must be noted here that a video got viral on social media in which Uzma and her sister Huma Khan were allegedly threatened and beaten by two unknown women who accused them of having a relationship with Usman Malik, reportedly the son of Riaz’s sister-in-law.
After the video made rounds on social media and people started talking about it, Uzma came up with a public statement in which she asked people to support her in the fight for justice against Amber Malik and Pashmina Malik, daughters of Malik Riaz, who allegedly accompanied Amna during the incident.
Uzma hired Niazi and Khadija Siddiqi to help her fight through a legal battle. Later on, Niazi alleged Riaz for offering money to her client to quit the case.
