LAHORE: The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has summoned Aleema Khan, the sister of incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan, to appear before it today (Thursday) over allegations of being involved in “anti-state activities through social media platforms”.

The NCCIA’s notice was issued to Ms Khan a day after she conveyed the party her brother’s message that if anything happened to Imran Khan in jail, it should hold a “poweful person” accountable.

According to the notice, Ms Khan has been asked to appear in person at the NCCIA office in Gulberg-II, Lahore.

The notice, seen by Dawn, says the action was being carried out under an inquiry dated May 27, 2025.
