LAHORE:

Additional District & Sessions Judge Ijaz Gondal sought reply from Shahdara police by August 30 in an application seeking registration of case against TikToker Ayesha Akram and her companion Rambo for allegedly tarnishing image of the country.

Petitioner Mian Taouseef filed a petition in district courts contending he watched video clips of the TikToker wherein she promised her followers to give surprise at Greater Iqbal Park on August 14.
