LAHORE: The Sundar police on Wednesday registered a first information report against YouTuber Rajab Butt, TikToker Haider Shah, Maan Dogar, and seven unidentified individuals on charges of hurling threats.

The case was lodged on the complaint of social media artist Umar Fayyaz Butt, who accused Dogar of abusing and threatening him during a TikTok live session and later the group reached the residence with armed men and threatened him with dire consequences.

In the FIR, he alleged that Rajab Butt, Maan Dogar and Haider Shah came to his house along with other armed men and threatened him with dire consequences.

He said the suspects displayed Kalashnikovs and weapons, creating fear.

An official said police are looking into the allegations and will proceed as per the law. He said a police team was working on the matter and gathering evidence, including digital records of the TikTok live session and CCTV footage.
