PTI politician Dr. Shahbaz Gill and YouTuber Moeed Pirzada are facing legal action from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for allegedly engaging in anti-state activities and disseminating misleading information about state institutions on social media.
After Sub-Inspector Muneeb Zafar filed a complaint, both people—who are now living overseas—were charged under the PECA-2016 Cyber Crime Act.
To find possible collaborators, the FIA’s Cyber Crime Wing is intensively looking into their internet activity.
According to the First Information Reports (FIRs), Gill and Pirzada spread deceptive content and threatening videos on websites like TikTok with the intention of stirring animosity among institutions and governmental authorities.
