ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Police have arrested a software engineer with alleged links to the banned Hizbut Tahrir group and seized hate literature from him.
Faizanullah, 26 was arrested while distributing pamphlets containing hate material in a mosque in F-11 Markaz after Friday prayers on July 15.
Police said the literature contained statements against the government and armed forces. “The pamphlets contained statements against the government and the chief of the armed forces and their cowardice,” said the FIR registered by the Shalimar police against the suspect.
Shalimar Police Station House Officer Qaiar Niaz Gilani told The Express Tribune that the suspect was a software engineer and hailed from Sargodha. Currently, he lived in Sector E-11/4.
“By assisting the banned Hizbut Tahrir and distributing its literature, the suspect has committed a crime under section 11-F of the Anti-Terrorism Act and 188 [disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant] of the PPC,” read the FIR.
The police also recovered over 40 handouts from the suspect. Gilani said that the two-page each pamphlets contained statements against the government and state institutions among many other controversial statements.
The suspect was produced before a judicial magistrate on Saturday and was sent to Adiala jail.
