The DG FIA apprised the IHC that the agency was keeping at least three suspects under constant surveillance and that the names of a few more suspected persons were also placed on the Exit Control List (ECL).
“A mobile phone and a laptop have also been recovered from the suspect’s possession which now rests with forensic officials,” said an FIA Official
Justice Siddiqui, remarked that time should be given to the Facebook management and until then he said:
“it was important to ban Facebook in Pakistan.”
According to Monthly Brands, Siddiqui also added “if we do not have the platform to update selfies, check-ins & food images then we will surely not die.”
