Adil Farooq Raja, a former officer of Pakistan Army, turned a political commentator for some time and he continues to spew hate against state institutions.

On Tuesday, Daily Jang reported that Adil Raja was arrested in the late hours of Monday in Britain for peddling propaganda against forces.

The report said the former army officer was purportedly summoned by UK authorities for questioning, with British officials confirming the arrest on charges of disseminating derogatory content against Pakistan’s institutions through social media.

The development garnered attention and the buzz was all over the internet, with several unverified accounts confirming his arrest.

As the rumors after the report of leading publication gained traction, Adil Raja himself dismissed rumors of his arrest by British police. Raja took to social media where he condemned the alleged news of his arrest, calling it misinformation by specific quarters.

In October, Pakistan Army handed down 14 years of rigorous imprisonment to two officers including Adil Raja.

In a statement, military’s media affair wing said charges against Adil Raja and other officer included inciting sedition among army personnel, breaching official secrecy acts related to espionage.
