ISLAMABAD: Senior journalist Mohsin Baig has been arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from his house in a raid.
The news of the journalist being arrested was confirmed by Mohsin Baig’s son himself. The senior wing of the FIA raided Mohsin Baig’s home, whereupon the senior journalist and his staff sought an arrest warrant, which the FIA team refused to show.
The FIA’s arrest without a warrant is being concealed by saying that one of our officers was also injured in the firing at Mohsin Baig’s house. However, Mohsin Baig’s family said in this regard. The firing was carried out in self-defense.
Mohsin Baig was waiting for his arrest since long. His arrest is a sign of weakness not strength of @ImranKhanPTI #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime https://t.co/Bf2kAkp1jA

Regarding the arrest, it has also come to light that the arrest was made at the request of Federal Minister Murad Saeed. It should be noted that Mohsin Baig had been criticizing the failed policies of the government for almost two and a half months, on which warning letters were being sent to the journalist by the NAB.
Regarding this arrest, senior journalist Hamid Mir said that this arrest does not show the strength of law but weakness.
