The Federal Investigation Agency (NCCIA) arrested Dr. Omer Adil on charges of hate speech on social media.

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency released a photo and a statement confirming the arrest.

According to the statement, case number 203/2025 was registered against Dr. Omer Adil under sections 11, 12, and 13A of the PECA Ordinance.

The inquiry had begun after a citizen filed a complaint, and following the investigation, the charges were proven, leading to his arrest.

This is not the first time Dr Omer Adil has faced legal trouble. In 2024, FIA arrested him over allegations of using vulgar and inappropriate language against women on social media. The controversy began after Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari lodged a complaint with the FIA on July 27, accusing him of making defamatory remarks about the Punjab chief minister and several female anchors in a vlog uploaded on his YouTube channel Ganda Aandaa.

Following her complaint, FIA initiated an investigation and later took Dr Adil into custody on August 6 for allegedly using foul language against a female anchor. The Cyber Crime Wing in Lahore confirmed the arrest after a formal case was registered.

During the same period, Dr Adil faced backlash for targeting anchorperson Ghareeda Farooqui with inappropriate remarks. Despite being asked to issue an apology initially, he refused, which led to his arrest. He was later released on bail after tendering an unconditional apology to the anchor.
