A case has been registered in the federal capital against four individuals, including prominent journalists Sabir Shakir and Moeed Pirzada, for sedition and terrorism, said the sources on Wednesday.
Citizen Majid Mahmood filed the case at Abpara police station in Islamabad, accusing Shakir, Pirzada, Mohiuddin, and Syed Akbar Hussain of inciting attacks on military installations through video messages on May 9.
According to the complainant, on May 9, a group of 15 to 20 people were inciting people for terrorism using the video messages of the suspects. He said that the protesters were taking instructions from Shakir, Pirzada, and others to spread terrorism.
The complainant said that the suspects intended to carry out attacks on military installations and spread terrorism and propaganda within the country. He said that the suspects, residing in foreign countries, were acting as agents of hostile agencies against Pakistan.
The complainant further alleged that the suspects aimed to instigate rebellion among military personnel and undermine the strength of the armed forces, ultimately fostering terrorism within the nation.
Meanwhile, YouTuber Major (retd) Adil Raja was reportedly arrested in London for inciting hatred against state institutions, it emerged earlier in the day.
Although Raja did not deny reports of his arrest, he took to Twitter to reassure his well-being, stating, “There have been many rumors about me and my welfare. Alhamdulillah, I am well.”
