The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has launched an investigation into former Prime Minister and founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, in connection with a cybercrime case.
The case revolves around a threatening post allegedly made from Imran Khan’s social media account on platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
A team from the FIA visited Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, where Imran Khan is currently incarcerated, to conduct the inquiry.
The interrogation lasted for 45 minutes, during which the former Prime Minister was questioned about the specific post under investigation.
The FIA team, led by Deputy Director Ayaz Khan, along with officers Mohsen Afzal and Muhammad Anees, carried out the questioning.
On Friday, a case was lodged against the former prime minister and founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan for allegedly inciting rebellion against the government and state institutions through posts made on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has launched an investigation into the controversial posts. According to sources, the FIA’s Cybercrime Wing is leading the investigation and a four-member team has been assigned to probe the allegations.
The team visited Adiala Jail, where the PTI founder is currently held, to conduct questioning. However, Imran Khan reportedly declined to cooperate, citing the need for legal consultation before engaging with investigators.
The investigation centers around posts that are alleged to have promoted sedition and rebellion against state institutions. Sources indicate that the federal agency is also looking into potential accomplices who may have been involved in the dissemination of these messages.
The four-member investigation team is expected to return to Adiala Jail for further questioning in the coming days. Authorities are keen to uncover the extent of involvement and any coordination behind the posts, which they claim posed a threat to national stability.
