The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken action against the spread of misinformation, registering cases against three individuals for disseminating fake news regarding the recent Jaffar Express attack.
According to ARY News, the FIA Cyber Crime Islamabad has filed cases against Ahmad Noorani, Shafiq Ahmad Advocate, and Aina Durkhanai under the PECA Act.
The FIRs state that the accused used their verified social media accounts to spread anti-state propaganda, incite hatred against national institutions, and promote a banned organization in the aftermath of the attack. This activity was deemed to create public uncertainty.
An FIA spokesperson stated that the agency is actively investigating to identify other accounts involved in spreading similar malicious propaganda. This move is part of a broader crackdown on cybercrimes, with a focus on combating misinformation and hate speech online.
The crackdown follows a complex security situation involving the Jaffar Express. Earlier, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry reported that Pakistani forces successfully rescued hostages from the train unharmed in a challenging operation.
DG ISPR explained that an IED explosion on March 11th forced the Jaffar Express to stop. Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) attackers then launched an assault on a nearby FC post, resulting in the martyrdom of three soldiers. The attackers subsequently took women and children hostage inside the train and forced other passengers off the train. The operation was complicated by the incident’s remote location.
