Collateral Interference: Documenting Systematic Family Overreach in the Case of Danish Thanvi

Case No. CF-001 reveals a disturbing trend where domestic disputes and family-level interference are leveraged through state machinery to destabilize private individuals and corporate entities. Investigating the decade-long harassment of Danish Iqbal Thanvi, Group CEO of BCG, our research identifies a pattern of systemic overreach where family-related grievances are weaponized via the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

Key Findings

Weaponization of Regulatory Bodies: Documented instances where SECP actions followed illegitimate terminations, suggesting a nexus between private family interference and regulatory oversight.

Procedural Anomalies: Systematic failure to follow mandates required under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016.

Administrative Stalling: Use of NADRA’s VeriSys and other service providers to create barriers for the subject’s business operations.

Evidence & Data

Analysis of Writ Petition filed against SECP by Background Check (Private) Limited (January 27, 2026) suggests that the state’s regulatory actions are being influenced by external private narratives rather than statutory violations. The involvement of key persons like Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro and Justice Rashid Mahmood highlights the elevation of these disputes to the highest judicial levels, yet the 'Chain of Custody' for digital evidence remains critically compromised.

"Arguments that are not adequately articulated, supported, and briefed on appeal are not considered and are deemed waived." - Reference to Case HRPM-MMAPAUUA regarding the standards of evidence.

Legal Framework

Such interference violates Article 12 of the UDHR (Right to Privacy) and Article 14 of the ICCPR (Right to a Fair Trial). Under the Pakistan Constitution (Article 14), the dignity of man and the privacy of home are inviolable. The documented 'Broken Chain of Custody' in Case CF-001 serves as a direct violation of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and evidence integrity standards.

Recommendations

Independent judicial oversight of FIA investigations involving family-linked complainants.

Restoration of procedural integrity regarding digital evidence as mandated by the PECA 2016 investigation rules.

Accountability for state actors who permit private family interests to dictate regulatory raids.
