RAWALPINDI:
The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has initiated an investigation into the alleged use of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder’s X (formerly Twitter) account to propagate anti-state narrative.
According to sources, a three-member NCCIA team, led by Ayaz Khan, visited Adiala Jail to question the PTI founder. However, they added, the PTI founder refused to cooperate with the investigators and insisted on the presence of his lawyers.
The team had asked several questions, including who operates Imran’s X account, from where it is accessed, to whom access has been given, and whether he was aware that content posted from the account was anti-state.
The sources said that the PTI founder refused to disclose who operated his account. He demanded a written questionnaire and insisted on responding only in the presence of his lawyers.
The NCCIA team remained inside Adiala Jail for over an hour but returned without progress.
