(Web Desk Monitoring) — Anchorperson Orya Maqbool Jan was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Cybercrime Wing in Lahore on Thursday. The arrest is connected to Jan’s social media posts regarding the ongoing Mubarak Sani case.

Jan’s lawyer, Azhar Siddique, confirmed that Jan is currently detained at the FIA Cybercrime office in Gulberg, Lahore. Siddique expressed concern that they have not been provided with details of the First Information Report (FIR) related to the arrest. “We are unaware of the specifics of the FIR, and we believe the FIA lacks jurisdiction in this matter,” Siddique stated, indicating that they plan to mount a strong defense. Jan is expected to be presented before a judicial magistrate later today.

On the same day, the Supreme Court is set to hear a plea from the Punjab government challenging its July 24 verdict in the Mubarak Sani case. The plea seeks a revision of the court’s February 6 order, which emphasized that the right to profess religion and religious freedom, as guaranteed by the Constitution, is subject to law, morality, and public order.

The application, filed by the prosecutor general of Punjab, was quickly scheduled for hearing before a three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, Justice Irfan Saadat Khan, and Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan.

In related developments, protesters affiliated with Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz-i-Nabuwat attempted to breach Supreme Court security on Monday, demanding the withdrawal of its verdict in the Mubarak Sani case. The police responded with baton charges and teargas to prevent the protesters from entering the Supreme Court. Earlier, the demonstrators had set up a stage at Express Chowk with a sound system to address the crowd. The next day, the capital police registered a case against over 6,000 protesters for entering the Red Zone.
