Following the arrest of former Pakistan prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan, Delhi Police on Tuesday took a jibe at a Pakistani 'activist' who wanted to file a complaint against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) for spreading "chaos and terrorism" in the neighbouring state as Khan got arrested outside the Islamabad High Court. 

The verified Twitter user, who goes by the name, Sehar Shinwari and claims to be an actor and social activist, took to Twitter and wrote, "Anyone knows the online link of Delhi Police ? I have to file a complain 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(sic)."

 



Responding to this, the Delhi Police said, "We are afraid we still do not have jurisdiction in Pakistan." However, the police was curious to find out how she was being able to tweet when internet services were shut down in Pakistan following protest. "But, would like to know how come you are tweeting when the internet has been shut down in your country!" Delhi Police wrote.
