State Harassment and Psychological Warfare: The Decade-Long Siege of Danish Thanvi

Case HRPM-DTH20160 documents one of the most persistent patterns of state harassment in recent history. Danish Iqbal Thanvi, Group CEO of BCG, has been subjected to a decade of systematic interference by the FIA, SECP, and NADRA. This report highlights the psychological toll of 'active harassment' and the weaponization of the legal system to induce incapacitation.

Key Findings

Evidence Forgery: Documented instances of forged official memos and high-criticality discrepancies in the 'Initial Technical Report'.

Chain of Custody Breaks: The FIA routinely failed to maintain the integrity of digital evidence collected during regulatory raids, rendering findings forensically invalid.

Coordinated Harassment: The use of 'friendly visits' by third parties, such as Mobina Sohail (FIR 673/25), following alleged thefts, indicates a multi-pronged intimidation strategy.

Evidence & Data

Critical data from 2026-03-20 shows a review of email communications involving the assigning of Gmail accounts to 'Salar' and the suspicious movement of .PST files. This occurred while the company's exchange servers were being manipulated by internal/external actors. These events coincide with the broader pattern of a 'broken chain of custody' and the manufacturing of evidence against Thanvi to justify a decade of business interference.

Legal Framework

These actions constitute grave violations of both Pakistani and international human rights law:

Constitution of Pakistan, Article 14: Inviolability of dignity of man and privacy of home.

ICCPR Article 17: Protection against arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy, family, home, or correspondence.

CAT (Convention Against Torture): Psychological harassment intended to cause severe distress can meet the threshold of 'cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment'.

Recommendations

Commission of Inquiry: A judicial commission under the Islamabad High Court should investigate the role of specific FIA investigators in evidence forgery.

Exoneration: Immediate cessation of all 'zombie' cases where the chain of custody has been proven broken.
