Journalists among four booked for 'inciting attacks' on military installations in Pakistan on May 9

Islamabad, June 12 (PTI) Pakistan police on Monday booked two journalists, an anchorperson and an army officer-turned-Youtuber for "abetting mutiny" and inciting attacks on sensitive military installations and government buildings across the country last month following the high-profile arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan in a corruption case.

In the FIR registered on Monday, the complainant, who identified himself as Muhammad Aslam, told the police that on May 9 he saw around 25 people sharing screenshots and messages of journalists Shaheen Sehbai and Wajahat Saeed Khan, as well as army-officer-turned-YouTuber Adil Raja and anchorperson Syed Haider Raza Mehdi.

“They were inciting people to attack military installations, spread terrorism and create chaos in the country,” he said in the FIR registered in the Ramna Police Station here in the federal capital.
