The Peshawar High Court granted transit bail to Noreen Niazi, sister of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a case filed under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) 2016. The case, registered by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), alleges Niazi made derogatory remarks about state institutions during a podcast and on social media platform X. The court directed her to appear before a court in Islamabad by August 20th and to post bail bonds of 80,000 Pakistani Rupees. Niazi’s legal team argued her implication was false and lacked concrete evidence. The court acknowledged the reasonableness of her request for transit bail to allow her to formally petition for bail in Islamabad. This development comes amid ongoing legal challenges faced by Khan and his family members.
