Blasphemy Case Filed Against Couple in Faisalabad After Viral Video

Faisalabad Police have registered a blasphemy case against a woman and her husband under Sections 295-A, 295-B, 295-C, and 298-A of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) after a video of the woman and her sister went viral on social media.

The FIR, lodged by a local MBBS doctor, accuses the couple of endorsing the claim of prophethood made by the woman’s sister. The viral video triggered a mob outside the couple’s residence, where protesters chanted slogans and damaged property, including a parked vehicle.

In response to rising tensions, City Police Officer (CPO) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi arrived at the scene to address the crowd. He assured them that legal action would be taken and that the accused would be punished “as per law” following due process. Rizvi committed to personally overseeing the investigation to ensure there were “no loopholes” in pursuing the death penalty if proven guilty.
