Denouncing TV3's claims as "lies and falsehoods", he alleged that the TV station has "bad intentions to defame him".
Nizar said that he is arranging for litigation action to be taken against the TV station if it does not issue an apology within 24 hours or divulge the name of the special assistant detained.
He also urged the MACC to disclose the name of the person in custody.
