He is given a 17-month prison term for sexual harassment by the court.
A representative for the FIA Cyber Crime Circle claims the offender posted offensive images of a woman on social media.
FAISLABAD: On Saturday, a court in Faisalabad sentenced Majid Zia, the defendant, to 17 months in prison for sexual harassment.
In addition to the prison term, the extra sessions judge fined the defendant Rs. 1.5 million.
The FIA’s Cyber Crime Circle filed the case, and under the 2016 Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, the convict was subject to punishment.
The FIA spokeswoman claimed that in 2022, Majid posted offensive images of a woman on social media.
A medical student who claimed that the family of an industrialist kidnapped, tortured, and videotaped her made a request for legal action against two women for what she called “character assassination” and harassment on social media the day before.
With her attorney Rana Muhammad Sikandar Hayat Bhatti, Khadija Ghafoor submitted her application to the police, the court, and the commissioner of Faislabad.
In her plea, she claimed that she had filed complaints with the Police Station Women and the Police Station Cyber Crime Wing Circle, which are currently being heard in the court of Additional and Sessions Judge Rana Saeed.
The suit also claimed that Sheikh Danish and the other defendants were powerful figures in the area of Faisalabad.
The case was not resolved, and Anna Ali Sheikh, the daughter of Sheikh Danish and Zara Shakur, threatened to kill Khadija on social media. Authorities are looking into the situation.
Video evidence of Khadija being tortured by Sheikh Danish and his family surfaced in August of last year.
Danish and five other suspects are accused of kidnapping and torturing Khadija. As the video went viral on social media, the six offenders were arrested by the police.
