JHELUM, Pakistan — August 25, 2025:
Prominent Islamic scholar and YouTube personality Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza has been arrested in Jhelum under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO). Law enforcement agencies, including local police and members of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), conducted a late-night raid at his academy in Machine Mohalla, resulting in his detention and the sealing of his educational center.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement detailing the charges. However, according to sources, the arrest follows a complaint registered a day earlier, leading to swift action by the District Commissioner under preventive detention laws.
The Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance allows authorities to detain individuals who are considered a threat to public peace, even without formal charges or court proceedings.
Following the arrest, Muhammad Ali Mirza’s academy was locked and sealed to prevent gatherings or protests from his followers. Videos from the site show heavy police presence, and no entry is being permitted.
This is not the first time Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza has been taken into custody. In May 2020, he was arrested over allegations of hate speech but was released shortly after by court order. Mirza is known for his controversial views on religious sects and interpretations of Islamic teachings, which have drawn both praise and criticism.
The arrest has sparked strong reactions on social media, with #FreeEngineerMirza trending on X (formerly Twitter) in Pakistan. Supporters argue that his voice is being silenced for promoting unity among Muslims and speaking against sectarianism. Critics, on the other hand, claim his rhetoric often crosses the line and incites division.
The situation is still developing, and more details are expected in the coming days. Whether this arrest is a legal necessity or a politically motivated move remains to be seen. For now, Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza remains in Jhelum District Jail, and his academy remains closed.
