The wife of Salman Iftikhar, the disgraced executive jailed for violently threatening a Virgin Atlantic flight attendant, has publicly defended her husband just days after his sentencing.
Abeer Rizvi, one of Ifitkhar’s two wives, and a prominent Pakistani model with over half a million followers on social media, shared a cryptic message on social media urging the public to consider the mental health struggles behind her husband’s behavior.
However, for many online, the petition rang hollow, as the same empathy was not extended to the victim of Iftikhar’s rage.
