Court grants two-day physical remand of PTI’s Raoof Hasan

A district and sessions court in Islamabad granted a two-day physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Information Secretary, Raoof Hasan, to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

The court’s decision comes in response to allegations of Hasan’s involvement in disseminating anti-state propaganda.

The FIA initially sought a 10-day physical remand for Hasan. However, the court opted for a shorter duration, allowing investigators two days to question the PTI official.

Hasan’s arrest occurred on Monday. Islamabad Police conducted a raid on the PTI Secretariat, resulting in his detention. During the operation, authorities seized a computer and other relevant items, believed to be linked to the case.

The case has sparked significant interest and debate, reflecting ongoing political tensions in the country. PTI supporters and legal experts are closely watching the situation, as it unfolds in the coming days.

Authorities have yet to provide detailed evidence regarding the allegations. However, they emphasize the importance of the investigation in maintaining national security. Meanwhile, PTI representatives assert Hasan’s innocence, calling the charges politically motivated.

The next few days will be crucial as the FIA investigates the claims. Hasan’s legal team plans to challenge the remand and fight the allegations. This case highlights the complex intersection of politics, law, and national security in Pakistan today.
