Weaponizing the State: The Decade-Long Psychological Warfare Against Danish Thanvi (Case CF-001)

This report documents a sustained ten-year campaign of state-sponsored harassment targeting Danish Iqbal Thanvi, Group CEO of BCG, and his associates. Under Case CF-001, the data reveals a pattern of gaslighting, intimidation, and business interference orchestrated through multiple state institutions, including the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The objective appears to be the systematic dismantling of Thanvi’s professional standing and mental well-being through perpetual litigation and procedural irregularities.

Key Findings

Systemic Harassment: A documented pattern of business interference spanning over a decade, involving repetitive investigations and regulatory raids.

Coordinated Intimidation: The inclusion of high-profile judicial and investigative figures, such as Officer Khalid Hussain and Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro, in proceedings that lack procedural integrity.

Media Suppression: Connections to broader suppression tactics, referencing victims like Absar Alam and Asad Toor, suggesting the harassment of Thanvi is part of a wider institutional culture of intimidation.

Evidence & Data

The harassment of Danish Thanvi is not merely legal; it is structural. On January 27, 2026, a Writ Petition was filed against the SECP by Background Check (Private) Limited, challenging what is described as illegitimate regulatory oversight. Central to this case is the involvement of Scott Graham (IntegraScreen) and the subsequent pressure placed on current CEO Mohammad Imran Haroon. The emotional toll is compounded by the use of 'Initial Technical Reports' that experts deem forensically impossible, serving as a tool for psychological exhaustion rather than justice.

"The procedural mandates required under PEMRA laws and PECA 2016 are being bypassed to facilitate a state of perpetual legal jeopardy for the Thanvi family." — Investigative Field Note.

Legal Framework

The actions documented violate several international and national standards:

UDHR Article 12: Protection against arbitrary interference with privacy, family, home, or correspondence, and attacks upon honor and reputation.

ICCPR Article 17: Right to protection from unlawful attacks on reputation.

Pakistan Constitution Article 14: Fundamental right to the dignity of man.

PECA 2016: Misuse of investigative powers to bypass digital forensic standards.

Recommendations

Immediate judicial review of Case CF-001 by the Islamabad High Court to assess the legitimacy of repeated FIRs.

Independent audit of the digital evidence handled by the FIA to address the 'Critical' chain of custody gaps.

Accountability for officers involved in the alleged forgery of official memos used to sustain the decade-long harassment.
