Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had confirmed that case that will be registered against Ritchie in a complaint filed by a local PPP leader. The court has also demanded an answer from the US blogger for the bad-mouthing of slain PPP leader Benazir Bhutto.

Her tweet about the late PM had triggered a cold war between the members of PPP and the ardent followers because of their sentiments being hurt.

Later, Ritchie made a statement accusing Rehman Malik of having raped her and Yousuf Raza Gillani of manhandling her.

She also wrote a letter to the FIA explaining her position, earlier, which said, “I am a freelancer and pay taxes to FBR and report my income to IRS in USA. I am not on government payroll. I take projects (such as KP Dept of Archaeology/Engro/and some cleared NGOS) as matters of personal and professional interest,” adding that she has been living and working peacefully in Pakistan for the past 10+ years.
