Wednesday, February 15th, 2017 1:10:09 by

Singer Hadiqa Kiani joined the league of those celebrities about whom false rumors are spread. Just two days after Kiani performed at the Mystic Music Festival in Lahore, news hit the internet that she had been caught smuggling cocaine at the Heathrow Airport in London.

According to a news website called Metro UK, Kiani was arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport for trying to smuggle two kilograms of cocaine. The report stated that after the drugs were discovered from her luggage, the singer was handed over to Port Authority police and was awaiting prosecution by the London District Attorney.

The report also said that the cocaine was discovered in two coffee bags hidden in two separate suitcases and that its value was reported to be around 80,000 pounds. The report went so much into details, that an unaware reader would easily believe it.

However, soon after the report surfaced, Kiani used the social media to clarify the rumors regarding her fake drug bust.

In a Facebook post, Kiani uploaded a picture of herself with her family in Lahore and expressed her shock and dismay at the irresponsibility of news media outlets.

“I am not in London nor do I have plans to go to London. And I dare any of you to associate drugs with my name…I am so disgusted right now! Just disgusted by this FAKE NEWS of me spreading online by so called established news media. Just shocked. #DoYourHomework!”, Kiani wrote in the Facebook post.

When contacted by a local news channel, Kiani said that initially she brushed off the rumors and thought that the news would fade away. However, once she started receiving calls from journalists about the authenticity of the news, she knew that things had gotten serious and she had to clarify.
