FIA prosecutor argued that remand was necessary to recover devices used for social media accounts
\nIslamabad
\nA judicial magistrate has approved a 2-day physical remand for the Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Raoof Hasan, following a request from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), which had sought a 10-day remand.
\nOn Monday, Islamabad Police arrested Hasan during a raid on the PTI Secretariat, seizing a computer and other items.
\nAccording to sources, authorities allege that the digital media cell at PTI\u2019s office had become a hub for international disinformation, where anti-Pakistan propaganda was being carried out in collaboration with enemy agencies.
\nHowever, PTI condemned the raid, accusing law enforcers of seizing affidavits from MNAs and MPAs that stand crucial for verifying party affiliations and could significantly impact the National Assembly\u2019s composition.
\nHasan, along with other PTI members, was presented before Judicial Magistrate Abbas Shah\u2019s court. The FIA prosecutor argued that the remand was necessary to recover devices used for social media accounts, which are crucial for further investigation. PTI\u2019s lawyer, Latif Khosa, argued that Hasan has no connection to the digital media wing and that it is unjust to label them as traitors.
\nThe court handed over Hasan and 10 other male detainees to the FIA for a 2-day physical remand, while ordering judicial remand for the arrested women, sending them to jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
