Additionally, notices were sent to Sibghatullah Virk, Azhar Mishwani, Mohammad Nouman Afzal, Jabran Elias, Salman Raza, Zulfi Bukhari, Musa Virk, and Ali Malik.
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar, along with Raoof Hassan and Shah Farman, has already appeared before the JIT.
On March 14, 2025, PTI founder’s sister, Aleema Khan, failed to appear despite receiving a summons. Consequently, the JIT issued another notice to Aliya Khan, scheduling her appearance for March 19, 2025.
The investigation is based on evidence linking these individuals to anti-state propaganda. The notices also include warnings for them to clarify their stance on the matter.
The JIT was established under notification F.No.8/9/2024-FIA/ in accordance with Section 30 of the Electronic Crimes Prevention Act 2016. The inquiry is being led by Islamabad’s Inspector General of Police, Ali Nasir Rizvi.
