Parveen told the media that she, along with her brother, had appeared before a court in connection with a case she had filed against her ex-husband Advocate Hasnain, who was the one who verbally and physically assaulted them along with his colleagues Advocate Shahzad Saeed and Advocate Jalbani at the court.
