A cover up effort?
A spokesperson for Pearl-Continental Hotels said in a statement “We are deeply frustrated by the false news reports about the former General Manager of Pearl-Continental Hotel Karachi. We regret that reckless reporting may have also tarnished the names of the government agencies dragged into this unsubstantiated story. No raid has taken place at the hotel, in fact a senior Pakistani executive of the company is currently staying in the room previously occupied by the former General Manager. Pearl-Continental Hotels believes in an honest and fair press and we condemn individuals or companies that attempt to use fake news to disrupt the success of our business.”
