Pakistan Court Dismisses Rizwan's Cybercrime Petition
17 Sep
Summary
- Rizwan's petition against cyber agency was dismissed by court.
- The agency questioned Rizwan over alleged online betting.
- His phone was reportedly confiscated without clear reason.
The Lahore High Court has dismissed a petition filed by cricketer Mohammad Rizwan challenging Pakistan's National Cyber Crimes Investigation Agency (NCCIA). Rizwan had sought to contest the agency's jurisdiction and the grounds for their inquiry, which reportedly concerned online betting in cricket.
The court's decision mandates that Rizwan must now respond to the NCCIA's questions. This ruling follows Rizwan's petition, which asserted the agency's allegations were vague and that the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit should handle such matters.
Further details from the petition suggest a prior incident where Rizwan's mobile phone was allegedly confiscated without a clear explanation after a match in England. The Pakistan Cricket Board also announced its own internal inquiry into player conduct following that tour.
