Bahawalnagar Division police arrested two TikTokers on Saturday and registered separate cases against them for allegedly performing obscene acts and possessing drugs. A TikTok clip showing one of the accused, Abu Bakar, disguised in a burqa and performing “vulgar” acts with trader Ikram inside Anarkali Bazaar, went viral on social media. Police said the video was filmed 8–10 days earlier to gain online attention.

On Aug 15, a case under Section 294 of the Pakistan Penal Code was registered against both men on the complaint of ASI Shabbir Shah. Acting on a tip-off, police arrested the duo the following day. During the search, 200 grams of hashish were recovered from Ikram’s pocket.

Another FIR was filed under the Narcotics Act for possession of prohibited drugs. Both accused are currently in custody while investigations continue.
