Islamabad: On Feb 16, a court in Islamabad declared Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) raid at journalist Mohsin Baig’s residence ‘illegal’, hours after police arrested him. Additional Sessions Judge Islamabad West Zafar Iqbal said in the judgment of a petition that “…illegal raid was conducted at the house of [Baig] by irrelevant persons who were not authorized to do so”. The court also mentioned that the SHO just produced the record of his FIR, which is “devoid of any police diary, statement, of any person recorded […] and recovery memo of crime empties fired by the accused party”.
