ISLAMABAD
\nA court in Islamabad has remanded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Raoof Hasan and other suspects to a 14-day judicial custody in an anti-state propaganda case. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) presented Hasan before District and Sessions Judge Shafiq Bhatti, who denied the FIA\u2019s request for an additional five-day physical remand.
\nOn Monday, Islamabad Police arrested Hasan during a raid on the PTI Secretariat, seizing a computer and other items. According 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. However, 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 where 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.
\nFollowing this, Hasan was granted physical remand on Tuesday and the remand has been extended multiple times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
