In his reply sent last week to a set of 15 questions, Khan said he had contacted a Romanian adventure company through his personal email account for a hunting expedition in Bulgaria but had paid the amount negotiated by a representative of the company.
According to sources, Saif claimed that he did not have any correspondence or emails related to the hunting trip as much time has since lapsed.
