A Lahore court has set August 18 for the indictment of TikToker Rajab Butt and four others accused of sexual assault against a social media influencer, according to the Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafaryab. The woman had filed a private complaint in 2025, alleging sexual assault and subsequent blackmail by the suspects.
She stated she possessed evidence, such as WhatsApp messages, a medical report, and a recorded statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The suspects, who had previously secured pre-arrest bail, denied the charges. In July, Nawab Town police filed a case against Butt and his accomplices for allegedly assaulting women and opening fire during a dispute at a cafe.
