Police in Bahawalpur have filed a case against 35 people, including famous dancer Mehak Malik, after a controversial mehndi ceremony in Yazman Mandi. The event featured inappropriate dances, loud music, and money showers (wail) , causing a stir in the local community.

According to police reports, the ceremony violated the Loudspeakers and Sound Amplifiers Law, as the noise levels were too high. Additionally, participants threw cash at the dancers, which is seen as an inappropriate act linked to vulgar dances. 

The First Information Report (FIR) names Mehak Malik, a popular dancer, and a local man named Zeeshan, also known as Shani, as the main suspects. The FIR lists 10 other named individuals, and 25 more are yet to be identified.

Sources say that some of the suspects include government employees, including a police constable. However, their names have not been revealed, and the police are continuing their investigation.

The case revolves around three main issues: the performance of inappropriate dances, the illegal use of loudspeakers, and the distribution of money during the ceremony.

Although no arrests have been made yet, the investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to identify the remaining suspects.

This incident has sparked a debate in Pakistan about cultural practices and the public behavior at private events, especially when it comes to dance performances. Legal proceedings for Mehak Malik and other suspects could have serious consequences for their careers and personal lives.
