Pakistani singer Rabi Pirzada filed a complaint with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Saturday to take action against the persons who leaked her private videos and pictures on social media.
Rabi approached the cybercrime wing of the FIA to deal with the matter after private videos and pictures of the singer were leaked and anonymously shared on social media and WhatsApp earlier this week.
The FIA confirmed that it had received Rabi Pirzada's complaint. The law enforcement agency said has started an investigation into the case and that it would write a letter to Facebook on Monday, urging the social media website to disclose the details of the person who leaked the private videos on the social media platform.
On Saturday, several users on social media came out in support of the singer.
Popular singer Meesha Shafi and her lawyer Nighat Dad were among those backing Rabi Pirzada.
Taking to Twitter, Meesha said that even though Rabi had accused her of doing a publicity stunt when she had come forth with her harassment accusations against Ali Zafar, she would always raise her voice when a victim is "shamed and humiliated".
"The same women who were accused of speaking up as a publicity stunt by Rabi are defending her unconditionally today. Including myself," Meesha said in her tweet.
"I highly condemn the leaking and sharing of these private videos and will always raise my voice when a victim is being shamed and humiliated," she tweeted.

Human rights activist and lawyer Nighat Dad, who represents Meesha in the defamation case against Ali Zafar, also condemned the leaking of the videos, saying that, according to the Pakistan Electronic Crimes Act, forwarding "non-consensual intimate images and videos" to others is also a crime.

"Those who are weaponizing non-consensual intimate images and videos of @Rabipirzada and those who are forwarding them are committing crime under PECA," she explained, urging others to report the perpetrators to the authorities.
"Don't be a silent bystander, report these tweets and do not forward this violence," she tweeted.

Hareem Shah to host a Ramazan transmission?

Tiktoker Hareem Shah might grace our television screens in Ramazan this year.  A recent tweet by an account identifying as Hareem revealed that she has been approached by a major TV channel to do a Ramazan transmission. “I have been approached by a leading TV Channel to host their 2020 Ramadan transmission. Do you want to see me host it? Share your thoughts,” Hareem asked. A video of hers donning a hijab and lip-syncing to a hymn about fasting and Ramazan was also posted on the same account. While reports of her doing a Ramazan show might be dubious it didn’t stop the public from voicing their opposition on the possibility. Many on social media, however, weren’t too keen on the prospect of Hareem making a transition into Ramazan based television programming. “No please leave Ramazan transmission for  ulema . You look good on TikTok,” one user said. “ Itna bura waqat bi ana tha kiya hum py?  ( Are we supposed to go through such a testing ...
