“The DC Islamabad Hamza Shafqaat is requested to arrest the couple, who displayed extreme obscenity in public in the federal capital,” wrote Ansar tagging DC Islamabad to which Ansar replied, “Anyone with any information may please share with us.”
Talking to The Current, lawyer and noted commentator Reema Omar said that if the police or Ansar Abbasi want to push a case against the two, they could use one Pakistani law, “There is an old provision in the penal code, which has been there from colonial times, that criminalises obscenity in public places (section 294). It is very vague and has overboard provisions.”
“It is unclear if the law has been used before or how the courts have interpreted obscenity.”
