Noreen Niazi, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has submitted a written reply to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) stating that she had “not formally received” the notice issued against her and had “become aware of it only a few hours ago, through reports circulating on social media.”

In her reply to the notice dated 18-07-2026 in Enquiry No. RE-2031/2026, addressed to Sub-Inspector (SI) Muhammad Waseem Khan, Noreen said that she was “not in a position to confirm whether it is genuine” and also noted that the address recorded on the notice, 14 Upper Mall, Lahore, “is not the address at which I reside.”

She said that she was based in Lahore and that the notice required her attendance in Islamabad “by 12:00 PM on 20-07-2026,” which made compliance within the given time “impractical in any event.” She added that she was nonetheless responding to the notice “for the sake of clarity, and without prejudice to the foregoing.”

Noreen maintained that being served with a notice “does not mean that my constitutional right to be dealt with in accordance with law stands waived,” stating that NCCIA’s power to seek attendance is “neither unbridled nor immune from judicial review” and that such powers, under the law of Pakistan, must be exercised within defined parameters and cannot be arbitrary.

She said that the notice “does not disclose the identity of any complainant, except for the generic entry ‘State,'” and does not specify “the statutory provisions under which the inquiry is being conducted,” nor what was disseminated “or where.”

She said the notice was “lacking in the particularised detail that a notice of this nature ought to contain” and did not explain why her personal attendance was necessary “at this preliminary stage, as opposed to a written response or clarification.”

She pointed out that a notice that calls upon a citizen to appear “without disclosing the basic particulars of the allegation” falls short of the standard required for “a lawful exercise of investigative power,” adding that the purpose of such a notice is to facilitate investigation, not to harass citizens.

Referring to her family, Noreen observed that despite the “unlawful confinement and state persecution” of her brother, Imran Khan and her son, Barrister Hassaan Khan Niazi, it remained unfathomable to her that she would defame any state institution.

She remarked that she took the aspersion cast upon her “extremely seriously and firmly” denied the allegations.

She said that as a “law-abiding citizen,” she was willing to extend “full cooperation” to the NCCIA “in a lawful manner and within the parameters laid down by the Courts.”

She requested that the complaint, or at minimum the specific allegations forming the basis of the enquiry, be shared with her, that the statutory provisions under which the enquiry was being conducted be specified and that reasons be given for why her personal appearance was required in another city.

Separately, Noreen’s lawyer, Faisal Malik, told reporters after appearing before the NCCIA that the defence had asked for a copy of any complaint registered against his client and asked the agency to specify the legal provisions under which the notice was issued.

Quoting his client, Malik said that Noreen maintained that “as a Pakistani, she respects all state institutions” and “could never do anything that would bring disrepute to Pakistan.”

He added that the NCCIA had asked Noreen to appear before the agency in person on Tuesday, but her legal team had sought four weeks to submit a detailed response and that she would not be able to appear before the NCCIA on Tuesday.

In the interview, Noreen had claimed that India refrained from attacking Pakistan at Israel’s request because Pakistan was moving towards recognising Israel.

“Modi could have fixed them in two minutes if he had wanted to. Why did Modi stop? What was he afraid of? India is such a large country. Look at that country and then look at yourselves,” she said.

She had also alleged that Israel was “behind” the developments and claimed that Pakistan was being prepared to join countries that had established diplomatic relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords.
