Federal Investigation Agency investigating officer reported to Sindh High Court that all defamatory links and content targeting actresses Mehwish Hayat and Kubra Khan have been blocked on social media platforms. However, administration of platform X has not responded yet.

Mehwish Hayat and Khan filed petition against YouTuber Major (retd) Adil Farooq Raja, alleging that he defamed them by making false allegations against four actresses.

During court hearing, FIA investigating officer mentioned that Hayat had requested facial identification, and according to her, face seen in viral video does not belong to her. Investigating officer also explained Karachi lacks forensic testing facility, so video has been sent to Islamabad laboratory at Hayat's request.

In response to court's query about timeline for receiving forensic report from Islamabad, FIA's counsel requested 4-week extension to submit report.
