However, he later denied the charges and said the statement was given under duress and and not out of his free will during the regime of military dictator General Musharraf.After an exhausting legal battle challenging his detention, a court ordered lifting the restrictions imposed on him and declared him a free person in 2009. He currently lives a retired life with his family in Islamabad and refrains from politics or work pertaining to his former career line.
