According to a statement issued by the spokesperson of the Punjab Police, Mir shared a fake video posted by the PTI to mislead the public. He added that sharing a fake video has affected the credibility of the journalist.
In a video posted by the PTI, the party claimed that police brought eight PTI workers from jail and pretended that they arrested them in Zaman Park during a search.
Regarding the video, the police spokesperson said that not a single person arrested in Zaman Park two days ago is present in the clip shared by the party and the journalist.
While taking a jibe at Hamid Mir, the police spokesperson said that the journalist wrote the right caption over that video: "Lies can’t exist anywhere."
He further said that the people present in the video were those who were arrested under 3MPO for staging violent demonstrations.
