LAHORE: A judicial magistrate at the district courts on Saturday directed social media networking website Facebook’s management to provide registration details of a girl’s fake account allegedly managed by a man.

The magistrate passed the order on an application filed by cyber crime circle of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on behalf of complainant Alisha Khan.

The agency’s investigation officer told the court that an unidentified person had been managing a fake Facebook profile of the complainant and uploading her morphed photos and sharing indecent posts.

He asked the court to order the Facebook management based in the US to furnish registration data of the complainant’s fake account so that the suspect could be traced and arrested.

Magistrate Farooq Azam Sohal allowed the request and issued a direction to the Facebook’s security department to provide the FIA the required details of the fake profile.
