THIRD PERSON POV
JAVAID KHAN ARRESTED!
The husband of politician Seerat Gillani was arrested from the Gillani family home in the early hours this morning, for reasons not yet known to the public.
It is known, however, that he was already being investigated for scrounging donations from the charity owned by the family, and using them for his personal habits, that include, but are not limited to, drinking and gambling.
This is a breaking news, and more information will be provided shortly. Watch this space for further updates.

"Mama, where have they taken Baba?" Ten-years-old Alisha asked her mother, Seerat, with tears in her eyes.
Seerat glanced in the direction of her own mother, who sat silently in the living room. "We need to send the best lawyer."
"Alisha, please go to your room, dear." Samreen told her, in a polite but firm voice.
"But Baba..." Alisha began to protest.
"Alisha, when I ask you to do something, I expect no arguments." Samreen said. "Go to your room immediately."
Alisha nodded and walked out of the room, head bowed.
"I have repeatedly warned you to stop Javaid from indulging in his haram habits." Samreen looked at her eldest daughter. "I warned you that if he were to get caught, I will not offer my support in any form, because I do not wish to associate myself or my party to such a person."
"Such a person? Mama, he's your son-in-law!" Seerat sighed. "And he did not get arrested for those habits. Our lawyers had reassured us that he would never be legally held accountable for such activities. We had strong evidence to show his innocence." False evidence created after a hefty amount was paid in cash.
"What am I missing then?" Samreen frowned. "Why did Javaid get arrested?"
"For the attack on Nayab." Seerat replied quietly.
Samreen sat frozen in her seat, her eyes widening as realisation dawned on her. After a few moments of eerie silence, she spoke quietly, "Who authorised him to order an attack on her?"
Seerat swallowed hard.
"Did you know that he was going to do this?" Samreen demanded, her hands clutching the armrests of her armchair, tightly.
"Mama, it was necessary. She was..."
Samreen held up her hand and she grabbed her phone from the table beside her. Dialling a number, she held the phone up against her ear. "Mr Jamal, I want you to come to my residence immediately." She spoke to her right-hand man. After hearing his affirmation, she ended the call without a further word. "I did not expect such silliness from you, Seerat. You have disappointed me beyond words."
"It was a good plan. Nobody could have found out..."
"Then why was your husband arrested for it?"
