A city magistrate on Wednesday denied the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) additional physical remand of anchorperson Orya Maqbool, sending him to jail for 14 days instead.
The FIA had brought Orya before the court in a cybercrime case involving alleged hate speech against the Chief Justice of Pakistan. However, the magistrate ruled that remand could not be granted based on assumptions and dismissed the FIA’s plea for further custody.
Orya Maqbool will now remain in jail as the case continues to unfold.
