NEW DELHI: Pakistan’s anti-cybercrime agency has registered an FIR against Noreen Niazi, sister of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, over remarks about the Pakistan military and last year’s four-day conflict with India, an official said on Wednesday.The case was registered by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Islamabad under Sections 20 and 26-A of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), nearly 10 days after the agency summoned Niazi for questioning over social media content it described as “false, offensive and inflammatory”.“NCCIA in Islamabad has registered a case against Noreen Niazi, the sister of former prime minister Imran Khan, under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA),” an official told PTI.According to the FIR, Niazi made false and baseless allegations against Pakistan and its armed forces.“Noreen Niazi attempted to undermine public confidence in the state and create panic among the people. She disseminated false, provocative, insulting and threatening content and conducted a systematic propaganda campaign against state and security institutions,” the FIR said.The case stems from an interview that was widely circulated on social media, in which Niazi claimed the May 2025 India-Pakistan military confrontation was the result of collusion between Pakistan’s military leadership and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was orchestrated to enhance the image of Pakistan’s armed forces.She also questioned Pakistan’s military response during the four-day conflict that followed the Pahalgam terror attack and claimed, without providing evidence, that India deliberately refrained from escalating the conflict because Pakistan was moving towards recognising Israel and that the episode was intended to facilitate Islamabad’s entry into the Abraham Accords.“What do you think? … India, which is a big country, was not in position to respond to Pakistan when it attacked on May 10?” Niazi said in the interview. “It could have but India deliberately refrained from giving a strong response because of some understanding.”Pakistan’s NCCIA had issued summons to Niazi on July 18, directing her to appear before investigators to record her statement in connection with the inquiry.
