GUJRANWALA: The district police today (Thursday) arrested a Gujranwala YouTuber after a clip from one of his ‘prank’ videos went viral on social media.
In the video, Khan Ali, who has over 323,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, can be seen asking random women on the road to take dupatta, as he continues to harass them. One of the users, Sadaf Alvi, tagged Amna Baig, Sub Divisional Police Officer in Islamabad to take due action against the YouTuber.
“This man has been harassing Pakistani women on roads and public places, for not wearing a headscarf. He has been doing it for months and then he posts their videos on the internet without their knowledge or consent. He is doing this to enforce Islam,” Alvi pointed out.
