The investigating officer said that fake accounts created on social media were found on the accused's mobile phone. Rauf Hassan heads and instructs the social media team.
“There is a campaign against the judiciary and administration. We have only one social media technical expert, more time is needed to check social media accounts,” FIA prosecutor said.
The District and Sessions Court Islamabad granted the request of the FIA investigation officer and extended the physical remand of nine co-accused including Rauf for another three days.
