Arrest warrant against Saba Qamar

If reports are to be believed, Saba has been accused of shooting a ‘dance video’ at a historic mosque in Lahore. Lahore’s magisterial court issued bailable warrants against Qamar and singer Bilal Saeed. It is alleged that they were constantly trying to evade the hearing of the court. Now the hearing of this case will be held on October 6.

The Lahore Police last year registered a case against Qamar and Saeed under section 295 of the Pakistan Penal Code for the alleged ‘desecration’ of the mosque Wazir Khan in the old city of Lahore. According to the FIR registered, both the actors (Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed) had trampled upon the sanctity of the mosque by shooting a dance video and this act had also sparked outrage among the people of Pakistan. In this case, the Punjab province government had also sacked two senior officials.
