Khan has been writing a number of posts against the likes of Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and the ruling Fiji First Party.

Sources have also told FBC News that Khan had claimed to have worked for political parties and individual Opposition politicians and was getting paid.

So far NFP and SODELPA have both denied that they had anything to do with Khan.

His anti-government posts have also included a number of personal attacks against the government MPs as well as several government institutions and its Chief Executives.

The Fiji Exposed Forum Facebook page, which is renowned for its anti-government posts has Khan as one of its administrators and his posts have also been shared on pages such as Samachar Darshan.

It is also believed that Khan and his group work out of an institution in Vuda, Lautoka, and the group is headed by a former academic, who is involved in the  frequent attacks on the Government.
