The case was referred to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The Information Department has written a letter to the FIA in which it has been said that the PTI government has caused a loss of Rs 1.30 million to the provincial treasury in the form of advertisements with the connivance of the Information Department.

It should be noted that the series of arrests of Tehreek-e-Insaaf leaders could not be stopped till now. Former Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has been arrested again after being released.
