ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The Ministry of Interior on Monday recommended placing the name of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) social media wing official Sadaqat Khan on the Exit Control List (ECL) over threats to the chief executive officer (CEO) of Azaad Digital.
According to the Interior Ministry memorandum, the recommendation followed a request from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), dated November 8, 2026.
The document identifies Sadaqat Khan, a resident of Shabqadar in Charsadda district, as a suspect under investigation for issuing life threats and engaging in a targeted online campaign against Azaad Digital CEO Musawar Abbasi.
The NCCIA is also reportedly examining the alleged involvement of other individuals, including possible handlers and financiers, through call data records, digital forensics, and other investigative procedures.
The document states that the proposed ECL placement is intended to prevent the suspect from travelling abroad while the investigation is underway. It also contains directions concerning immigration monitoring and possible detention if he attempts to leave Pakistan.
