Overview

• Officials confirmed she was taken into custody in Lahore’s Ichhra area over two cases tied to online activity.
• Investigations center on alleged propaganda against state institutions and a doctored video of Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari.
• Authorities had earlier declared her an absconder, obtained arrest warrants, and frozen her bank accounts during the probe.
• The action follows Bukhari’s court petition last year after a video she described as doctored was shared on X and widely circulated.
• PTI and her sister Sanam Javed condemned the detention as an abduction, while her father petitioned the Islamabad High Court to have her produced and to disclose case details.
