Days after Khan said he could be target of a coordinated character assassination campaign, Toor claimed that he was approached by his highly placed source who was in contact with the people who allegedly posses the video.

He said when he expressed his willingness to release the video on the condition it had something crediblity, the people who are allegedly in possession of the video stepped back.

Toor also made an outrageous claim about who could feature in the video, without revealing whether he had seen the clip.

He, however, admitted that he had received two pictures and approached his unnamed sources to confirm whether the people in the photos were involved in the scandal.

The journalist said he received the answer in the negative.
