A report shared by local TV claimed that Imran Khan’s contentious tweet about the 1971 war and Humood ur Rehman Commision Report has provided the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) with grounds to consider filing another case against him and others. Another case is also being prepared by country’s anti-graft watchdog National Accountability Bureau (NAB) which is related to Toshakhana reference-II.
