ISLAMABAD—BOL News anchor Jameel Farooqi has been arrested in Karachi for reportedly making a baseless claim about Shahbaz Gill, the chief of staff of PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

Islamabad Police had registered a case against him for claiming that Gill was raped as part of 3rd-degree torture by police. Gill remains in custody.

According to the FIR, Farooqi alleged that Gill was sexually abused in jail.

BOL News confirmed that Farooqi was taken into custody.

Why me?

If my call is so important to them, why don’t they answer it for 22 minutes?

How come when I want to, but something specific online is the only item out of stock.

When I get into a queue or lane going fast, the moment I get in, it becomes the slowest and refuses to budge.
