Prankster arrested for harassing women for not wearing dupatta
A Gujranwala YouTuber, Khan Ali, has been arrested after posting videos of pulling a prank on women by giving them money and asking them to buy dupatta for themselves.
A social media user, Sadaf Alvi, shared a video of the YouTuber requesting police officer Amna Baig to take action against him.
This man has been harassing Pakistani women on roads and public places, for not wearing a head scraf. He has been doing it for months and then he posts their videos on internet without their knowledge or consent.

His videos of harassing women have been on internet for months but this person is still free to harass more women and post their videos on the internet. Is this not a crime? Who will identify him and arrest him and protect Pakistani women? @amnaappi can you help?
