A terrorism case has been filed against Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Saad Rizvi and several senior leaders following an attack on security forces in Muridke. The case was registered by Sub-Inspector Muhammad Afzal at the City Muridke police station, accusing the party members of violent acts and serious criminal offenses.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), a total of 32 sections have been included, covering charges such as terrorism, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, and robbery. The report names Saad Rizvi, Anas Rizvi, Allama Farooq-ul-Hassan, Maulana Sajjad Saifi, and Mufti Wazir Ali among the accused.
Police said that raids are currently underway to arrest those involved in the violent incident. Officials stated that strict action will be taken against anyone found guilty of taking the law into their own hands, emphasizing that no one involved in the violence will be spared.
In a parallel move, authorities have also launched a crackdown on individuals spreading misinformation and false narratives online under the cover of protests. Security agencies have identified several people who were allegedly using social media platforms like X (Twitter), Facebook, and WhatsApp to incite unrest and spread misleading content.
Officials confirmed that a coordinated crackdown is expected to begin tonight, focusing on accounts and users promoting fake or provocative material. Sources said that the operation will cover multiple cities, and more than 200 arrests are expected across the country.
Authorities have compiled a list of individuals believed to be involved in spreading inflammatory or false information aimed at disturbing public order. Monitoring teams have been instructed to trace fake accounts and identify the origin of content that could trigger violence or public unrest.
Law enforcement agencies have intensified surveillance to prevent any attempt to create chaos or damage property. Raids are expected to take place in several urban areas, with security agencies closely tracking online activity to ensure timely intervention against those responsible for spreading misinformation.
