‘Sultan Rahi’ like action against FIA lands businessman-cum-journalist and son in ATC

Baig had previously participated on a private news media outlet’s talk show, when he made veiled claims about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s personal life. His words sparked a social media campaign, eliciting responses from both the administration and opposition figures.

Mohsin Baig, a journalist, was arrested at his house by the Federal Investigation Agency on Wednesday, according to his son. The FIA’s Cyber Crime Wing, working with the police, raided the journalist’s home in Islamabad, according to details.

During the raid, an FIA member was injured in a firefight, according to sources. It’s unclear who fired the shot that injured the FIA member. Videos from the scene, however, show Mohsin Baig firing rounds. Moshin Baig was also seen on Twitter bringing out the FIA member while holding a gun.

 

Baig’s son told Geo News that FIA agents in plainclothes came to the residence and arrested his father earlier today.

“At first, we mistook them (FIA agents) for thieves and opened fire in the air, but they eventually identified themselves as law enforcement officers.” We also requested that they produce arrest warrants, which they did not have. Meanwhile, a police team arrived to our home.”

 

During the operation, the FIA “met resistance” and “dragged” the journalist to the vehicle. According to reports, Baig has filed a plea to challenge his ‘illegal detention.’

According to reports, Federal Minister Murad Saeed filed a complaint against Mohsin Baig with the FIA. Mohsin Baig went on a private news media outlet’s chat show a few days ago and made nasty remarks about Murad Saeed and PM Khan. Mohsin Baig and the journalist who hosted the show were both heavily chastised.

The arrest of Mohsin Baig has split Twitter. The issue has become one of Pakistan’s top Twitter trends with users expressing their views on his detention. The arrest was met with outrage by members of the press.
