PECA Case Filed Against KP Chief Minister Over Alleged Anti‑State Remarks

National cybercrime investigators are reviewing videos of his Adiala Jail media talk after an FIR accused him of using social posts to incite hostility toward state institutions.

Overview

The FIR was lodged at the Cyber Crime Reporting Centre in Islamabad by an NCCIA sub‑inspector, and the probe was assigned to Sub‑Inspector Waseem Khan.
It cites a media interaction outside Adiala Jail and alleges Sohail Afridi made false and derogatory statements about state and security institutions.
Investigators note the content was amplified through official PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa social media accounts.
The complaint claims the posts aimed to incite violence, provoke hatred, and promote anti‑state sentiments, describing a threat to national security and stability.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the remarks and demanded an apology, while public discussion has intensified over the boundaries of political speech and no arrests or prosecution outcomes have been reported.
