Woman arrested over spreading 'disinformation'

Organised Crime Unit arrested a woman named Sarah Khan for allegedly spreading disinformation about an assault and death of a girl student at a private college in Lahore.

The accused claimed to be the mother of the student in a video that circulated widely on social media, calling for public support to spread the story.

The incident prompted swift action from the Punjab government, which formed a five-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) under the supervision of SP Aftab Ahmed Phulrwan to investigate the matter.

The accused now faces charges under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA).
