It added the methods employed—using dubious characters in far-flung cities to register cases featuring identical charges— border on the ridiculous.
A case has been registered against anchor Imran Riaz Khan of Express News in Thatta. The charges include incitement to mutiny, provocation with the aim of causing a riot. Multiple cases have been registered against Arshad Sharif, Sami Ibrahim, and Sabir Shakir in Sindh.
