A video of police raiding hair salons in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has gone viral over the internet with the claim that the authorities are arresting and harassing people for getting their beards trimmed in a fashionable way.

The person who shared the video also claimed that police were charging the arrestees with heavy fines and that hairdressers, fearing arrest, had even started denying beard-trimming requests by their customers.

The alleged development comes after reports that the Frontier Provincial Hairdressers and the Beauticians Association have advised all hairdressers registered with the body to avoid cutting beards in a fashionable way.

They had also warned that violators would face heavy fines.

The KP Information Department had, however, denied having released any orders to restrain the so-called stylish beards and warned that strict action will be taken against people imposing such laws.
