    TikTok celebrity Sandal Khattak, who is often seen in videos and pictures with viral TikToker Hareem Shah, is angry at the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) for their investigation against her.

    Sandal approached a Lahore sessions court, demanding that the FIA should stop ‘harassing’ her and that she had not been informed why she was being investigated.

    The FIA, in a written response to the court, said that they launched their investigation against Sandal after anchorperson Mubasher Lucman filed a formal complaint against her with the FIA’s cybercrime wing. In the complaint, Mubasher claims that Sandal is posting ‘fake and fabricated’ videos against him on social media.

    The FIA also denied that they were ‘harassing’ the TikTok star and said that they were just doing their job by summoning her.

    Sandal has petitioned for all documents in the investigation against her to be brought to court.

    Previously, Mubasher Lucman had filed an FIR against Sandal and Hareem Shah, alleging theft when they recorded videos in his private plane.
