Fact check: PTI spins raid targeted at Afghan nationals sheltered by MPA

Web Desk: A claim circulating on social media alleging that police and unidentified masked men raided the residence of Abdul Ghani Afridi has been rejected as fabricated, according to a statement disputing the reports.

The statement accused PTI-affiliated accounts on X of spreading misleading information and said no such raid had taken place. It described the claim as propaganda intended to mislead the public and generate sympathy.

According to the statement, posts alleging a raid at Afridi’s residence were baseless and lacked factual grounds. It accused accounts linked to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of circulating the story to influence public perception.

However, the available information did not include independent evidence verifying the denial or identifying the original accounts behind the claim.

The conflicting claims highlight the importance of verifying reports of alleged police operations before sharing them on social media.

No independent evidence was provided in the supplied material to establish whether a raid occurred. The allegation and its denial therefore require confirmation from relevant authorities or other reliable sources.
