Netflix bows to Modi government’s demands
Netflix, an international streaming media service, has bowed to the Indian government and announced a withdrawal notice from the controversial web series.
There is a controversy in India over using the names of Bhola and Shankar for the hijackers in the web series IC814: The Kandahar Hijack, which was released last week on the platform.
The Indian government reached out to Netflix, calling out to change their names in the show.
In compliance, Netflix India’s head of content, Monica Shergill, responded, “For the benefit of audiences unfamiliar with the 1999 hijacking, the opening disclaimer has been updated… code names in the series now reflect those used during the event.”
In December 1999, an Indian Airlines flight from Kathmandu to Delhi was hijacked and taken to Amritsar, Lahore, Dubai and Kandahar. Maulana Masood Azhar, Ahmed Umar Saeed and Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar were released.
According to passengers on the plane and journalists who reported the incident, the hijackers used to call each other Chief, Doctor, Burger, Bhola and Shankar while talking to each other.
However, in a statement issued by the Indian government on January 6, 2000, the hijackers were identified as Ibrahim Athar, Shahid Akhtar, Sunny Ahmed Qazi, Mistry Zahoor Ibrahim and Shakir.
The drama is made by Anubhav Sinha and Trishant Shrivastava, starring actors Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Vijay Varma, Arvind Swamy, Patralekhaa and Dia Mirza.

The Senate Standing Committee of Interior, presided by Senator Faisal Saleem Rahman, has approved a bill pertaining to rallies in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.

He further said that containers are still on Islamabad roads, creating trouble for people. He emphasised that the government needed to allocate a designated place for protests.
Senator Samina Mumtaz Zehri clarified that the bill’s purpose is not to target any political party.
Senator Saifullah Abro said that according to the Pakistan constitution, every citizen has the right to peaceful protest.

Suicide bombers given numbing injections, reveals arrested terrorist
An apprehended terrorist belonging to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Rooh Ullah, has revealed that suicide bombers are administered injections to numb them two days before planned attacks.
In a video statement, the terrorist revealed details about his and other suicide bombers’ training in a seminary in Afghanistan and how they crossed the border to get inside Pakistan.
He said that he was a student of the seminary Tarteel-ul-Quran in Tortam village in Afghanistan’s Dangam area for one year.
He’d received the training for 10 days under the supervision of men named Molvi Sibghatullah along with Farooq and Zakir.
He stated that the injections were administered to suicide bombers two days before their departure so they could no longer understand what was happening around them.
Rooh Ullah stated that after completion of their training, he, along with four other suicide bombers, travelled to the Afghan border, where a facilitator named Jawad helped them get inside Pakistani territory.
Then, the group’s responsibility was taken over by another man, Sajjad, who separated the suicide bombers and took Rooh Ullah to a mosque.
The terrorist had now been instructed to meet another individual, Suleman, whom he got to meet after travelling for one hour.
Suleman instructed the terrorist to receive a suicide vest from Jameel, who would also guide him about carrying out the attack in a cantonment area.
Pakistan is witnessing the most significant surge in terrorist attacks over the last two years as it blames the Taliban government in Kabul for not taking action against the TTP.

IHC registrar objects to Imran Khan’s petition against potential military trial
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) registrar office has objected to former Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s petition to bar his potential military trial in connection with the May 9 riots cases.
The IHC registrar objected to the petition, stating that the petitioner could only seek relief while referring to a specific First Information Report (FIR). The court also highlighted the absence of any document and an order that should be attached to the petition.
The IHC registrar further objected to how a petition could be filed with a high court while the matter of military trials is sub judice in the Supreme Court; registering cases in Punjab is impossible for a federal court to hear.
Earlier, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) filed a plea under Article 199 of the constitution.
Imran Khan’s counsel, Intezar Panjutha, questioned, “How can the leader of a popular political party be taken to a military court?”

PCB refuses to issue NOC to Haris Rauf for Big Bash League
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has refused to issue a No Objection Letter (NOC) to national fast bowler Haris Rauf for the Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia. Despite interest from several teams, he was not selected because of the NOC policy.
The fast bowler had requested a special NOC for the Big Bash League from the PCB, but the board rejected his request.
PCB responded that he has played in two leagues, Major League Cricket (MLC) and The Hundred, so NOC cannot be given now. The Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunders were keen to sign him in BBL.
PCB did not issue NOCs to other cricketers, including Babar Azam and Saim Ayub, due to the Champions Cup. However, PCB issued NOCs to Usama Mir for Big Bash.

Man convicted for sharing unwell wife’s explicit photos on Whatsapp
A local court in Karachi has sentenced a man to nine years in prison for sharing explicit images of his cancer-stricken wife on WhatsApp.
The court declared Syed Faizan guilty of the offences under Sections 20 (dignity of natural person), 21 (modesty of natural person and minor), 24 (cyberstalking) of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 and awarded him three-year imprisonment on every offence.
Additionally, Faizan was fined Rs90,000. In case of default, the convict will have to undergo an additional three-month imprisonment.
Observations of the court
“This action [of the accused] aimed at shaming and blackmailing the victim and her family, underscores the accused’s intent to exert psychological pressure and manipulate the victim, especially during a vulnerable period in her life when she was battling cancer,” the court observed.
The judge stressed that the impact on the victim and her family had been profound, causing emotional distress, reputational damage and further deteriorating the victim’s already deteriorating health.
The court also observed that the motive of the accused behind sharing these photos is “appeared to be rooted in a pattern of control, exploitation, and intimidation directed towards the victim”.
“After their marriage, the accused consistently demanded money and misappropriated the victim’s dowry, including substantial amounts of cash and gold. Abusive behaviour intensified over time, culminating in the accused’s deliberate act of sharing explicit images of the victim with her brother,” the judgment noted.
In her testimony in court, the victim stated that she got married in 2019; however, her husband’s behaviour was abusive. She also claimed that the accused demanded dowry, including Rs500,000 in cash and 30 tolas of gold. After she confronted him, the accused further threatened her with maltreatment while she was battling cancer. In February 2022, the victim left her husband’s house and returned to her parents’ home.
The brother of the victim lodged a complaint against his brother-in-law.
The complainant informed the FIA Cyber Crime Cell that in March 2022, he had received obscene images of his sister on his WhatsApp number sent by Faizan to harm the reputation of his family and to blackmail him and his sister. Consequently, the FIA team apprehended him and seized his mobile phone, in which obscene material was found.
While the victim’s lawyer stated in court that no consistency has been found in the testimonies of prosecution witnesses and that the forensic report matched the ocular version of the complainant and his witnesses. The report clearly showed the transmission of explicit images from the accused to the complainant (then deleted).
However, the defence counsel contended that the complainant falsely implicated his client in this case while the images in the forensic report were blurry.
However, the court rejected the defence plea and noted that the defence failed to produce evidence to support its claims.
