NEW DELHI: Pakistan journalist Mohsin Baig, who was arrested following a raid at his residence, has claimed that he was tortured by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials on the orders of Prime Minister Imran Khan while in police detention, Friday Times reported. He was taken into custody in connection to the "derogatory and demeaning" remarks he made on a news channel last week about the premier and Minister of Communications Murad Saeed. The senior journalist, seemingly with a black eye and cuts to his face, made the allegations to journalists while he was escorted into a terrorism court in Islamabad by police on Wednesday.
Baig was arrested from his home in Islamabad early Wednesday morning. (IANS)
