Anchorperson Rizwanur Rehman Rizvi booked for defamatory content against state institutions

ISLAMABAD - The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has booked Din News TV host Rizwanur Rehman Razi 'Dada'.

The FIA, in an FIR dated Feb 8, has stated that Razi was "summoned" to join the inquiry and have his statement recorded.
