A sessions court in Islamabad ordered the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan. He harassed a man through WhatsApp and sending him a “sexually explicit video”.
According to the details, Chief Minister’s Special Advisor and owner of The Centaurus Mall in Islamabad Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan allegedly sent a few messages along with a “sexually explicit video” to a young man from his WhatsApp number. Additionally, the latter found it disturbing, causing him “mental agony and trauma”, according to his lawyer.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) told the court that a forensic report of the petitioner’s mobile phone had come. Subsequently, it revealed the video came from Tanveer’s number.
In his order, the judge noted that “despite the forensic report, the FIA did not initiate proceedings on the flimsy ground that the inquiry is underway”. Following submission of the forensic report by the FIA, the court issued an order on July 6. It asked the agency to register an FIR “without further delay”.
In the petition, the victim claimed he had met Tanveer at Centaurus Mall after which the latter sent him the video and harassed him.

Will any action be taken against him?
