Prominent fashion designer Mehmood Bhatti is again in the spotlight as he faces fresh allegations about his business dealings and long-standing claims about his philanthropic ventures.
Last month, a family maintenance case was also filed in the Lahore Family Court by his wife accusing him of severe emotional, physical, and financial abuse.
New allegations have sparked widespread discussion about his public narrative regarding his business interests and legal battles in Pakistan.
One of the central revelations revolves around a longstanding property dispute with Bhatti’s elder brother, seasoned legal professional Munir Bhatti. Contrary to the designer’s current assertions, court records and his own autobiography—Paris main Dusra Janam—acknowledge that Mehmood Bhatti had willingly granted his brother power of attorney in 1987.

Although he contested the land transfer in 2002 before the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue), the case was dismissed. No legal challenge was pursued for nearly two decades until a new civil suit was filed in 2021, citing ignorance of the land transaction—an argument undermined by past rulings and Bhatti’s published admissions, raising questions under Pakistan’s Limitation Act
Regarding his claim of a Rs130 million theft from his hospital office, a recent YouTube documentary alleged that authorities—including the Punjab Police, Civil Court, and High Court—have dismissed the case due to lack of evidence. His petitions were rejected, with courts ruling the accusations unsubstantiated.
On the other hand,, fashion designer Mahmood Bhatti has categorically denied all allegations leveled against him, claiming that he is being targeted for his philanthropic work.
Bhatti stated that his efforts to support orphans, the underprivileged, and the helpless have made him the focus of unfair accusations.
He maintained that his intentions have always been sincere and that his charitable activities are being misconstrued or maligned by those with ulterior motives.
