ATC Approves In-Jail Interrogation of PTI Activist Falak Javed as Police Arrest Her in New Zaman Park Case

The proceedings consolidate cybercrime allegations with a probe into an alleged attack on Islamabad Police at the PTI founder’s residence.

Overview

  • An anti-terrorism court in Lahore authorized police to question Falak Javed inside Kot Lakhpat Jail in the Zaman Park attack investigation.
  • A city magistrate ordered a 14-day judicial remand covering two cases that allege misuse of social media against state institutions and a woman provincial minister.
  • Lahore police said they formally arrested Javed in a separate FIR over the Zaman Park clash, and the ATC approved their custody request.
  • The NCCIA produced Javed before the magistrate after a two-day remand, and officials say she was apprehended in Ichra about two weeks earlier after absconding.
  • Her sister, Sanam Javed, was moved to Kot Lakhpat Jail while serving a sentence linked to the May 9 riots, indicating concurrent custody of the siblings.
