Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF) expresses alarm over the harassment of media professionals in Gujrat in the Punjab province while they were pursuing an investigation into corruption in the Gujrat District Health Department. PPF stresses that violence, arbitrary detention, and the misuse of criminal laws against journalists are unacceptable in a democracy. According to Haider, instead of receiving answers, they were confronted by the Chief Executive Officer of Health Gujrat, Dr. Atta Al-Munaim, and other officials. Speaking to PPF, Haider shared that he used a second phone hidden on his person to alert colleagues at the Gujrat Press Club. According to Minute Mirror, by the time they arrived, tensions were high, with other journalists gathering in protest outside the health office and police being called in to mediate.
