ISLAMABAD: Sector H-9 was in the spotlight on Friday after rumours spread that some people had written slogans in support of self-styled Islamic State (IS).

According to police sources, the slogans were written on the wall of an educational institution located near Excise and Taxation Office.

An official of Industrial Area police station, requesting anonymity, said people had contacted the police station, asking about slogans written in favour of the IS.

“At around 8pm an Anti-Terrorist Squad official came to the police station and asked about the wall-chalking,” he added.

However SHO Fayaz Shinwari told Dawn: “No one came to my office to inquire after the IS wall chalking nor am I aware of any one writing slogans in support of IS in the limits of Industrial Area police station.”
