The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has initiated an inquiry against Bol anchorperson Sami Ibrahim for allegedly transmitting “anti-state” videos and statements on various social media platforms.
The FIA issued a press release on Sunday that accused Ibrahim of being “involved in spreading fake news regarding state institutions”.
“He has made imputations which are glaring attempts to incite armed forces personnel to mutiny. He has attempted to create chaos in Pakistan through media while staying abroad,” it added. Ibrahim is a TV anchor and has interviewed a number of high-profile figures, including former prime minister Imran Khan.
The FIA said he would have an opportunity to defend himself in the inquiry which would be closed if he ably defended himself.
