"I wasn't marrying transvestite Kashif, also known as Rani. He is my tenant. He lives in my apartment building," Iqbal told journalists at the Peshawar Press Club on Friday, where Rani was also present.
On May 24, police arrested Iqbal and Rani at what was described as the wedding ceremony of the pair. Forty-three other "wedding guests" were also picked up from the site. However, they were released on bail after a week.
