Rajab Butt News Update: FIR Registered Against Lawyers over City Court Assault Incident

A case has been registered after YouTuber Rajab Butt faced an assault inside the Karachi Sessions Court during a bail hearing. Police say a group of lawyers attacked him, issued threats, and stole cash. The incident has triggered debate over court security and conduct within legal premises.

The FIR says 15 to 20 lawyers attacked Butt after the hearing. They beat him and snatched his bag. The bag contained Rs300,000 in cash. A lawyer later recovered the bag, but the money was missing. The FIR also notes death threats during the incident. This Rajab Butt news quickly spread across legal and digital circles.

Video footage from the court shows Butt walking through a crowd with a torn shirt. Lawyers surrounded him and raised slogans of “Karachi Bar Zindabad.” The scene raised questions about safety inside court premises.

Butt’s lawyer, Mian Ali Ashfaq, condemned the assault on social media. He said lawyers should not take the law into their own hands. He warned that such actions harm the standing of the legal community. His comments added weight to the Rajab Butt news cycle.

In the same footage, complainant Riaz Solangi claimed Butt used offensive language against lawyers. Another man said the incident followed Butt’s behavior toward the legal community. TikToker Nadeem Mubarak, known as “Nani Wala,” was also present.

Both Butt and Mubarak face multiple cases. They returned from London on December 10 after the Islamabad High Court granted 10-day protective bail. The Sessions Court has now extended Rajab Butt’s interim bail until January 13.

The case traces back to a January complaint under Section 295-A PPC. Solangi alleged Butt appeared in a video offering prayers with music playing. Butt later released apology videos with religious scholars, saying he regretted hurting sentiments. This background continues to shape Rajab Butt news in Pakistan.
