A Counter Terrorism Department officer has registered a fresh criminal case against Kashif Zameer, accusing the social media influencer of fraud, criminal intimidation, and issuing death threats.
The first information report (FIR) was lodged at Mazang Police Station by CTD official Dost Muhammad Khan, who is posted with the Counter Terrorism Department in Karachi.
Alleged Fraud Through Social Media Contact
According to the FIR, the complainant stated that he came into contact with Kashif Zameer through social media, where the two developed friendly communication. The TikToker allegedly offered to arrange overseas travel for the officer and claimed he could manage the required documentation and process.
The complainant alleged that he paid Rs. 194,000 to Kashif Zameer for this purpose. However, no travel arrangements were made, and the promised facilitation never materialized, prompting him to seek legal recourse.
Previous Cases Already Under Investigation
The FIR noted that a separate fraud case related to the same allegations is already pending at Gulberg Police Station. The matter has also been taken up by the Federal Investigation Agency, indicating that multiple authorities are examining the allegations.
Allegations of Threats and Intimidation
In the newly registered complaint, the CTD officer further alleged that Kashif Zameer repeatedly pressured him to withdraw the earlier fraud case. He claimed the TikToker used abusive language during phone calls and issued threats to kill him if he refused to back down.
The inclusion of criminal intimidation and death threats has elevated the seriousness of the case, potentially exposing the accused to additional legal consequences if the allegations are proven.
Police Investigation Underway
Police officials confirmed that an investigation has been initiated into the latest FIR. Authorities said statements, call records, and financial transaction details would be reviewed as part of the probe.
They added that further legal action would depend on the evidence collected during the investigation, stressing that the case would be handled in accordance with the law.
Growing Scrutiny of Influencers
The case adds to growing scrutiny of social media personalities accused of exploiting their online influence for financial gain. Legal experts say such cases highlight the importance of accountability and caution when engaging in financial dealings initiated through digital platforms.
For now, the allegations remain under investigation, and Kashif Zameer has not publicly responded to the latest FIR.
