She allegedly wore revealing clothes
Prominent Pakistani dancer Mehak Malik has been booked along with 34 others for allegedly performing what authorities described as “vulgar dances”.
These dances were performed at a private mehndi event near Mandi Yazman.
The incident reportedly has drawn widespread attention due to the nature of the allegations and the involvement of public figures.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), Mehak Malik was invited to perform at a wedding-related function in a rural locality.
She allegedly wore revealing clothes and danced to suggestive songs, while attendees reportedly showered her with cash during the performance.
Authorities have registered a case under the Amplifier Act, which governs the use of sound equipment and public behaviour in such settings.
Out of the 35 individuals linked to the incident, police have officially named 10 in the FIR.
The remaining 25 accused have yet to be identified, and investigations are ongoing to determine their involvement. As of now, no arrests have been made.
It is reported that several government employees, including a serving police constable, were present at the event.
Despite these claims, no government officials have been named or charged so far.
Authorities have not clarified whether these individuals will be investigated or held accountable.
The case has prompted debates on decency laws and such performances.
Critics argue that such performances at private events are not uncommon and that the selective application of laws may reflect underlying societal biases.
Others defend the enforcement of the Amplifier Act, emphasising the need to uphold moral standards, particularly in conservative rural communities.
The police have stated they are continuing to collect evidence and may issue further nominations once identities are confirmed.
They have not commented on whether any action will be taken against the alleged government employees who attended the event.
Mehak Malik, who specialises in mujra, is known on social media for her viral dance videos and stage performances.
She has not made a public statement regarding the case.
Her presence at private functions has often attracted large crowds.
This incident has once again sparked renewed discussion about the space for mujra performers in Pakistan’s cultural landscape.
As the investigation continues, many are watching to see whether legal action follows.
Such matters have faded in the past without resolution, as has often been the case in similar incidents involving high-profile personalities.
