Former media coordinator of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, Khurram Rasool, was been produced on Friday before the Supreme Court (SC), which expressed displeasure over hand-cuffing him.
Hearing a gas quota fraud case, the court said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials brought Khurram over to the court without cuffs; but now, they put handcuffs on him only to show the court.
Pleading innocence before the court, Khurram said it was a business deal, not a fraud, adding that he had made 80 percent of the payments and an amount worth Rs.100 or 110 million remains.
He added, however, he will pay up the remaining amount soon, saying Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani is being unwarrantedly implicated in the matter.
