A district court on Thursday extended the physical remand of a Lahore resident for an additional four days in connection with allegations of his involvement in spreading disinformation that allegedly fuelled recent anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots in the UK.
The suspect, Farhan Asif, was initially apprehended by Lahore police and later transferred to the FIA cybercrime wing. The FIA presented Asif before a magistrate, requesting his physical remand to further investigate his role in the incident.
On Wednesday, a judicial magistrate granted the FIA one-day physical custody of Asif, who is accused of uploading a misleading news article on the Channel3Now website.
