Pakistani actor Saba Qamar and singer Bilal Saeed have landed in trouble as the Pakistan Police have filed an FIR against both for shooting a music video inside the historic 17th century Wazir Khan mosque in Lahore. The FIR was filed under Section 295 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) for alleged ‘desecration’. As per a report in Times Now, the FIR was filed at the Akbari police station of Lahore on the basis of a complaint filed by advocate Farhat Manzoor.

In the complaint, Manzoor said that filming a music video inside a mosque has hurt the religious sentiments. Saeed and Qamar have issued an apology on social media. Their music video ‘Qabool’ was released on August 11 without the scene which had led to the controversy.

Qamar said, “It was the music video featuring a ”nikah” (marriage) scene. It was neither shot with any sort of playback music nor has it been edited to the music track.”
