ISLAMABAD: Judicial Magistrate Muhammad Shabbir Bhatti extended the physical remand of PTI Information Secretary Raoof Hasan and others by three days on Saturday. The court directed that the accused be presented again on July 30. Raoof Hasan was arrested on Monday during a raid on the PTI secretariat, where authorities seized a computer and other items. According to sources, authorities allege that the digital media cell at PTI’s office had become a hub for international disinformation, where anti-Pakistan propaganda was being carried out in collaboration with enemy agencies.
