Former Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar’s son Najam Saqib tied the knot in a grand wedding over the weekend. For the unacquainted, Nisar was the mastermind behind the Prime Minister and Chief Justice of Pakistan Diamer Bhasha and Mohmand Dam Fund. His son’s wedding had a string of events including a qawali, mehndi, baraat and valima.

Pictures from the events soon went viral on social media and reports began to circulate that Nisar’s daughter-in-law was wearing a Rs 1.5 crore outfit by Indian designer Anita Dongre on the valima.
