A petition has been filed in the Sessions Court Lahore against actor Saba Qamar over allegations of wearing a police uniform without proper authorization.
The petition, filed by advocate Aftab Bajwa on behalf of citizen Wasim Zawar, contends that no individual is legally permitted to wear a police uniform or display the badge of a Senior Police (SP) officer without official permission.
In a video circulated online, Saba Qamar can be seen in a dressing room wearing an SP uniform. The petitioner argues that by doing so, she has committed offenses under Section 171 (wearing garb or carrying token used by a public servant with fraudulent intent) and Section 419 (punishment for cheating by personation, which may extend to seven years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Advocate Bajwa further stated that a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the police is required to legally wear the uniform along with the badge.
Additional Sessions Judge Ilyas Rehan had requested a report from the Anarkali Police, Lahore by December 14 regarding the petition.
