A few, including Abb Takk News and ProPakistani, added that the court accepted Memon had been using honey and olive oil in alcohol bottles, while 24 News HD briefly described the court's reasoning as \"it was honey in bottle, not alcohol.\" ARY News and Pakistan Today provided more minimal framing, focusing primarily on the acquittal and Memon’s position as a senior minister."
