Court grants FIA 4-day physical remand of Orya Maqbool in cybercrime case
An FIA team arrested senior analyst from Lahore in late hours of Thursday
Lahore: A local court granted the FIA Cyber Crime Wing the four-day physical remand of former bureaucrat and senior analyst Orya Maqbool Jan in a cybercrime case.
Judicial Magistrate Imran Adil announced the reserved verdict and directed that the investigating officer should present the report to the court at the next hearing.
Earlier, an FIA cyber crime wing team produced Oriya in district courts. Lawyer Mian Ali Ashfaq represented his client in the court.
FIA requested a 14-day physical remand, to which lawyer Mian Ali Ashfaq pleaded that Orya Maqbool had not insulted anyone and that a false and baseless case was registered against his client. As FIA had no evidence, his client should be discharged from the case.
He further pleaded that what was written in the text of the FIR was a defamation claim. The IO defended all the allegations, telling the court that Jan was not cooperating in the investigation and had concrete evidence.
Orya Maqbool Jan came to the rostrum and informed the court that he had written down the passwords of all the accounts to the FIA.
"I started writing in 2001. Have I stolen someone's car that needs to be recovered? My three sons are abroad and usually ask me to join, I have told them I have to live and die in my country."
Jan further informed the court that if he had to go abroad, he would have left already. An FIA team arrested Orya Maqbool Jan from Lahore in the late hours of Thursday.
