I doubt they were atheist, that would be some kind of con. I think they’re spicing up the story by calling him “munafiq”, unless there’s footage. They’re double-life leading Muslims, which is common.
I can’t feel sorry for the ppl who were so-called “defrauded”. They gave internet personalities their money of their own volition. I doubt, “I want my ruqya money back” will hold up in a court of law for services rendered, but they could always plead insanity (possession).
What I don’t understand is how they’re acting like this is a manhunt in Pakistan. Hopefully they don’t kill the ppl.
