Naseebo Lal accuses husband of hitting her in the face with a brick

Renowned singer Naseebo Lal has reportedly become the latest victim of domestic violence by her husband, months after film actress and stage artist Nargis was allegedly assaulted by her husband Majid Bashir.

A First Information Report (FIR), which was filed today (Saturday) at Shahdra Police Station Lahore against Naseebo's husband Naveed Hussain, stated, “At 5 PM, I was sitting in the courtyard of my house when my husband, Naveed Hussain, came home. As soon as he arrived, he started insulting me.”

It further read that after verbally abusing the singer, Hussain picked up a brick from nearby and hit her in the face with it, causing severe injuries to the left side of the singer's face and nose.

“He often argues and fights with me, but today he hit me with a brick, severely insulted me, and physically abused me, which is a serious violation,” the FIR says, adding that legal action should be taken against him.

Naseebo Lal is widely recognised for her folk songs in Urdu, Punjabi, Saraiki and Marwari, numerous film tracks, the anthem for the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and appearances in Coke Studio. 

Naseebo’s husband was arrested by the police in December 2024 for injuring a person by opening fire in his neighbourhood in Shahdara Town, Lahore.

As per the FIR, a fight broke out between Naveed and other people from the neighbourhood, during which the singer’s husband opened fire.

One person was injured by Naveed’s firing during the fight and was immediately shifted to the hospital, according to the FIR.

The domestic violence incident came months after dancer Nargis filed a case against her husband Majid Bashir in Lahore for allegedly assaulting her.

In the FIR, she alleged that her husband “wanted to put my property documents, cash, and farmhouse in his name” and that “the accused wanted to usurp a 9- kanal plot.”

However, according to the actress, following her refusal, “He [Bashir] subjected me to assault, repeatedly punched me in the face with an official pistol, tortured me in front of household staff and my nephew, and locked me in a room.”

As per the police, she was allegedly assaulted by her husband in Lahore’s Defence C area. “After the quarrel, she also came to the police station last night but has not filed any complaint yet," the police added.
