Pakistani man sues ex-wife over coronavirus accusation

A man in Multan, Pakistan, has served his ex-wife with a legal notice for damages worth more than $60,000 for wrongly accusing him of being infected with coronavirus, reports BBC.

Mohammad Umar Iqbal, who recently returned from China, had to spend two weeks under medical observation on a court order but was found to be healthy.

He claimed his ex-wife Zainab Bukhari wanted to prevent him from meeting the couple’s minor son who lives with his mother.

She said she feared that her child could get the infection from his father.
