An FIR was lodged at the Jamal Khan Police Station in Dera Ghazi Khan on the complaint of a man named Ghulam Yaseen.

The complainant argued that her video statement was an affront to the sentiments of the Pakistani people and part of a deliberate plot, urging legal action against her.

A citizen also submitted an application against Bushra Bibi in Gujranwala’s Saddar Police Station on Saturday for registering case under Telegraph Act and other sections.
The applicant said Bushra’s statement was “a well-thought-out conspiracy” which has disappointed the public.
