A joint research team (JIT) has summoned Aleema Khan and another 16 to interrogate in a case related to the alleged alleged negative anti -government propaganda in social networks.
According to the sources, the JIT has issued new notices to these people, instructing to appear on March 21. The researchers will investigate their participation in the alleged online campaign against the Government.
The summoned include political figures such as Syed Fordous Shamim Naqvi, Mohammad Khalid Khurshyd Khan, Mian Mohammad Aslam Iqbal, Mohammad Hammad Azhar and even Abbas.
Others on the list include Mohammad Shehbaz Shabbir, Waqas Akram, Taimoor Salem Khan, Sibghatullah Warak, Azhar Mashwani and Mohammad Noman Afzal.
In addition, the JIT has summoned Jibran Ilyas, Salman Raza, Zulfi Bukhari, Moosa Warak and Ali Malik.
The sources added that Aleema Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf, founding president Imran Khan, has been summoned again, despite appearing before Jit on March 19.
The investigation is carried out under the 2016 Electronic Crimes Prevention Law. The JIT was formed by the Federal Government and is headed by the Islamabad police chief.
Aleem Khan appeared for the last time before JIT on Wednesday as part of an investigation into alleged “malicious campaigns in social networks” aimed at inciting riots in the country.
According to local media reports, Aleema Khan was interrogated for more than two hours for the JIT.
The researchers questioned her regarding the social media account of Imran Khan, the sources added.
During the session, according to the reports, Aleema Khan informed the JIT that his brother’s social media account is managed from abroad and has no knowledge of his operations.
She argued that the account is used only to promote the official PTI posture, the sources said.
Previously, the Jit had summoned Aleema Khan last Friday, but could not attend due to personal commitments. Instead, his lawyer, Khalid Yousuf Chaudhry, appeared in his name.
