Earlier, the Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) Cybercrime Wing had summoned Youtubers Imran Riaz Khan and Asad Toor over their alleged involvement in an anti-judiciary campaign on social media platforms.
The two individuals have been directed to appear before the FIA Cybercrime Wing on February 23, following the issuance of formal notices by the agency.
