Things are getting heated for Salman Ahmed. The famous singer and ex-PTI member has just been booked under Pakistan’s Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) for allegedly posting anti-state content on social media.
The drama kicked off after a controversial tweet on his X (formerly Twitter) account, sparking a wildfire of debate on free speech vs. strict new digital laws.
The FIR, filed at Lahore’s Defence A police station, claims Salman shared fake and hateful posts targeting national security bodies. The report says his tweet didn’t just trash the institutions—it also fueled public unrest and division.
With Pakistan’s new PECA 2025 laws tightening up the internet, this case could set a big precedent for how online content is policed. As the situation unfolds, it’s clear this isn’t just about one singer—it’s about how far the government can go in controlling digital spaces.
