ISLAMABAD – NewsOne Television analyst Dr Shahid Masood was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Friday after the Islamabad High Court dismissed his pre-arrest bail.

The arrest was made at the court premises in a case relating to his alleged involvement in embezzlement as the head of PTV.

It is alleged that he entered into a contract with a fake company for earning media rights from the Pakistan Cricket Board. As a result of this, PTV reportedly suffered financial loss.

Masood had obtained an interim bail after the district court issued his non-bailable arrest warrant.
