Actor Kubra Khan to record her statement before FIA in YouTuber defamation case

10 Jan, 2023

The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday directed actress Rabia Iqbal Khan, better known as Kubra Khan, to appear before an inquiry officer of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to record her statement for further proceedings.

On the last hearing, the SHC had directed the FIA and Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to block defamatory material being disseminated against her on social media.

At the outset of the hearing, IO Shagufta Shahzad filed a progress report stating that a probe was registered at the FIA cybercrime circle in Karachi.

The IO stated that on the directive of SHC, she had provided all alleged social media accounts in question to focal person of the PTA to block the same.

She also requested the SHC to issue directive to the petitioner to visit her (IO) office for the purpose of recording statement for further proceedings.

The bench adjourned the hearing till Jan 26 and also repeated notice to the PTA for the next hearing.

The actress petitioned the SHC last week against “derogatory, defamatory, malicious, incendiary, dangerous and sensationalising allegations” made by YouTuber Adil Farooq Raja against her and three other actresses on the social media networking websites.

The petitioner submitted that the YouTuber, who claimed himself to be a rights activist and former army officer, had made false allegations against the four actresses and degraded them.

"Don't mess with Kubra" is it a statement or just a plea. Unfortunately, manipulation and defamation are part of the bad manners that have been prevailing in Pakistani Politics for decades. I will highly recommend this nice girl not to mess with these criminals

Did anyone actually name her? She dragged herself in the mud. Mehwish Hayat was more suspect. But Kubda Khan should have kept mum.

It will be interesting to see, because she is not even part of the things Mj. Adil Raja said.

Making such allegations without substantive proof is a grave offense in Islam and should be punished severely.

@Kubda Kahn Yes you are right. There was no compulsion to catch arrows from air. Absolutely no reaction was necessary on someone A,B,C.

One would have to see the YouTube video of Maj. Adil Raja to see if something was indeed said about the petitioner. Unfortunately the date of the publication is not given and so one would have to see each and every one of (ret) Major Adil Raja's videos to locate the alleged defamatory piece. If the piece is somehow removed then we would never know what was said about whom. Till then there should be no rush to judgement.

Kubra Khan can speak for herself that the derogatory malicious allegations made against her. How can she speak for the remaining 3 actresses?
