Institutional Erasure: The Multi-Agency Failure in Case CF-001 and the Erosion of Due Process

The case of Danish Iqbal Thanvi (Group CEO of BCG), documented under case number CF-001, represents a decade-long study in institutional breakdown. Evidence retrieved from the HRPM platform reveals a coordinated pattern of state harassment involving the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), and NADRA. This report examines how the failure to adhere to the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016 and established Chain of Custody protocols has resulted in a critical violation of fundamental rights.

Key Findings

Chain of Custody Breaches: Critical digital evidence collected during regulatory raids lacks a verifiable log, creating a 'critical' severity gap in the prosecution's case.

Regulatory Malfeasance: Following the illegitimate termination of business interests, the SECP and NADRA (specifically the VeriSys service) were instrumentalized to interfere with business operations.

Judicial Oversight Gaps: Despite oversight by Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro and Justice Rashid Mahmood, procedural mandates under PEMRA laws were bypassed.

Evidence & Data

On February 9, 2026, the filing of Challan Mobi FIR 09-02-2026 12.04.pdf highlighted the ongoing nature of this investigation. Furthermore, on January 27, 2026, Background Check (Private) Limited was forced to file a Writ Petition against the SECP in the Islamabad High Court. Investigative records indicate that Officer Khalid Hussain and ASP Maria Khan oversaw operations where the 'Initial Technical Report' was deemed a scientific impossibility due to lack of forensic expertise at the time of seizure.

"Arguments that are not adequately supported and briefed are deemed waived; yet in Case CF-001, the state has relied on forged official memos to sustain a decade of harassment."

Legal Framework

The actions documented against Danish Thanvi violate multiple international and domestic statutes:

Article 10-A of the Constitution of Pakistan: Right to a fair trial and due process.

ICCPR Article 14: The right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, undermined here by the 'Critical' forgery of official memos.

PECA 2016, Section 35: Mandates strict procedures for the search and seizure of digital evidence, which Officer Khalid Hussain reportedly failed to follow.

Recommendations

An independent audit of the FIA and SECP's interaction regarding Case CF-001 to address the 'Critical' severity discrepancies.

Validation of forensic evidence by third-party international experts to rectify the Chain of Custody gaps.

Immediate stay on proceedings until the forged memos, as documented in the case file, are investigated for criminal perjury.
