New Delhi: Delhi Police on Tuesday took a jibe at Pakistani actress Sehar Shinwari after she inquired about the online link of Delhi Police for justice as protests erupted in her country following the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday.
Sehar Shinwari tweeted, “Anyone knows the online link of Delhi Police? I have to file a complaint against Indian PM & Indian Intelligence Agency RAW who are spreading chaos and terrorism in my country Pakistan. If the Indian courts are free (As they claims) then I am sure Indian Supreme Court will provide me justice.” In response, Delhi Police said that they still do not have jurisdiction in Pakistan. They further inquired about how she wrote a tweet as the internet has been shut down in Pakistan.
We are afraid we still do not have jurisdiction in Pakistan.
But, would like to know how come you are tweeting when the internet has been shut down in your country! https://t.co/lnUCf8tY59
