Sher Afzal Marwat summoned by FIA for levelling allegations against Maryam Nawaz

The Cybercrime Wing of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) issued a notice on Friday summoning Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat for March 18.

Marwat is being summoned in connection with an inquiry prompted by a complaint filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNA Barrister Aqeel Malik.

The newly elected National Assembly member had made several posts on Twitter, formerly known as X, on March 9. However, it remains unclear which specific tweet led to the complaint.

One of Marwat's tweets raised allegations of an assassination attempt orchestrated by paid assailants at the behest of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

In his post, Marwat stated, "It is imperative to publicly acknowledge that 'Maryam Nawaz Sharif' poses a threat to my life, as she has orchestrated an 'assassination attempt against me,' which can take place at any time." He further claimed, "An amount of $100,000 has been allocated by Maryam Nawaz Sharif to these assassins for the 'execution of my murder.'"

Meanwhile, in other tweets, the politician had announced about the party's plan to attempt a "historic protest" in Islamabad, appealing people to meet him at the Zero Point Interchange in the federal capital.
