LAHORE: A judicial magistrate on Friday remanded PTI activist Falak Javed to jail for 14 days in two separate cases involving the alleged misuse of social media against state institutions and a woman provincial minister.
The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) presented Falak before Magistrate Naeem Wattoo upon the completion of her physical remand. After examining the case record, the magistrate ordered her judicial remand for two weeks.
In a separate development, an anti-terrorism court granted police permission to interrogate Falak inside jail premises in connection with a case related to attacks and vandalism outside Zaman Park, registered by the Racecourse police. The court directed the investigating officer to carry out the interrogation within the jail.
Falak had been arrested by the NCCIA from Islamabad. Her sister, Sanam Javed, was recently detained in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and later transferred to Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore to serve a five-year sentence in the Shadman police station attack case of May 9, 2023.
