Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) Sindh Cybercrime Department head Imran Riaz on Saturday told ARY News that reports about actor Alizeh Shah contacting the agency over a video made without her consent are false.
Speaking exclusively to ARY News, Imran Riaz said that he recorded a video shedding light on the actor’s video after it went viral and informed the public that this act of filming someone without consent is a crime.
He added that if Alizeh Shah approaches the agency, due action will be taken against the culprits who filmed her and then posted the video on social media.
The FIA official can be seen in the video asking people to remain careful about what they post or share on social media platforms.
It’s #cyberstalking to photograph or film people & display or transmit the same without their consent, with the intent to harass them and harm their reputation. It calls for punishment under section 24 of PECA 2016. #AlizehShah #alizeshah #alizeyshah @geonews_urdu @DivaMagazinePk
