The Lahore High Court has issued a restraining order against the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) to avoid harassing cricketer Mohammad Rizwan during an ongoing inquiry. Chief Justice Aalia Neelum instructed the agency to allow Rizwan to participate in the proceedings and refrain from causing him any unnecessary inconvenience.
The inquiry is being conducted to investigate allegations of electronic fraud under Section 14 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016. During the court hearing, the Chief Justice dismissed the plea raised by Rizwan, stating that the inquiry was not without jurisdiction and was not tainted by malice. She also noted that the International Cricket Council’s Anti-Corruption Code for Participants does not preclude a state agency from conducting its own investigation.
