ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Sep, 2022 ) :The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday granted time to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for answer in a plea against alleged harassment of tv anchor Sami Ibrahim.
Chief Justice Athar Minallah heard the case filed by the TV anchor.
The FIA officials adopted the stance that the anchor had tried to create fear among officers through TV program. The anchor had targeted the state institutions in his program, they added.
The FIA further said that the TV anchor had many followers and he could play a role in influencing public opinion.

The FIA said that the anchor had threatened the officers. The official said that the state was a complainant in this case.
