KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has summoned TikTok star, Hareem Shah, on February 16 to probe money laundering.
FBR officials said that if Hareem Shah did not appear before the FBR authorities, her arrest warrant would be issued. The TikTok star has been summoned to investigate FBR intelligence and Inland Revenue and tax evasion cases.
Earlier, the Sindh High Court had barred the FIA from taking action against Hareem Shah. She said in her petition that the FIA had also approached the banks for freezing the accounts while the PTA had taken action to close the social media accounts. Accounts are paid by the sponsoring companies.
