That’s the wrong number!!!
The drama should be ended…. The people who cashed this stunt to gain the publicity by defaming the state should be arrested. Her TikTok team, so called fans and shaapar journalist must be punished for such propaganda.#اقرارالحسن_کو_گرفتار_کرو pic.twitter.com/1SMZMYCwKb

These people were presented as parents in the FIR. I request the government to put this girl and the two main characters in jail along with these 400 people. There is a deep conspiracy to tarnish the image of our Pakistan.🇵🇰 @chotichirya#lahoreincident#اقرارالحسن_کو_گرفتار_کرو pic.twitter.com/SH6tn2l0Lu

A lot of us want that the culprit (men) should be hanged publically bcz they spoil society. What if women spoil society? Should not we hang them publically too? Aren’t women spoiling society by doing what they are doing!!!#اقرارالحسن_کو_گرفتار_کرو#lahoreincident #Feminism pic.twitter.com/qjlgwkTiZR
