Social media platforms issued apologies to Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon and his son, Rawal Sharjeel, after acknowledging they published unverified and false information related to the Mir Raz murder case.

The apologies followed backlash over the dissemination of defamatory content which was later retracted.

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Karachi summoned four individuals — Syed Abdullah, Amin Qureshi, Bilal Warsi, and Obaid Qureshi — allegedly involved in spreading the fabricated and defamatory content.  They were directed to appear at the NCCIA Karachi office on August 13.

The Facebook page Karachi Stories acknowledged that its post about the case was based on unverified information obtained from social media sources, apologised to Memon and other affected parties, and pledged to verify information before publishing future posts.

Similarly, the Karachi Wines Facebook page issued an apology to both Sharjeel Memon and his son Rawal, acknowledging that the information in their previous post was incorrect.

Other pages like Muhajir Community and Fikra O Amal also expressed regret over their posts.
