The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken Dr. Umar Adil, a YouTuber, into custody for using offensive language against a female anchor. The arrest came after a complaint was filed by the anchor, who works for a private TV channel, with the Cyber Crime Wing in Lahore. A formal case has been registered, and an investigation is underway.
Dr. Adil’s remarks, made during a podcast, sparked outrage on social media, with many users condemning his statements as an attack on Pakistani women. He had suggested that female anchors were merely decorative pieces on TV and lacked merit.
Social media users have voiced their support for women journalists, calling for strict penalties against Dr. Adil and urging investigative agencies to uncover the motivations behind his comments. They emphasized that such attacks aim to silence strong voices advocating for Pakistan.
