Journalist Isma Shaukat has threatened legal action in the United States against V-logger Shehbaz Gill over levelling false allegations against her and harassing her online.

In a tweet on X, Isma Shaukat said she had previously respected Gill but accused him of sharing a false tweet attributed to her during his latest vlog.

She clarified that she has no affiliation with any institution. She also denied any connection between Pakistan Connect and any other organisation.

Isma demanded that Gill remove the allegations against her.

She warned that she would pursue legal proceedings against him in the United States if the allegations were not withdrawn and online harassment against her continues.

She also said she would file a complaint with YouTube over the alleged unauthorised use of her pictures in what she described as false propaganda.
