Pakistani celebrities have spoken out after an alleged assault involving an eight-year-old girl in Ferozewala sparked anger and concern on social media.
According to reports circulating online, the incident took place in the Kala Khatai area of Ferozewala near Gujranwala. The young girl was allegedly assaulted, after which local residents reportedly intervened and police began investigating the case.
Maya Khan shared an emotional reaction to the incident. In a social media post, she wrote, “Khuda k liye koi aisa operation Karen,” which translates to “For God’s sake, please conduct an operation like this.” In the context of her post, Maya appeared to be calling for a strong crackdown against crimes involving children. Her words reflected the anger and frustration being expressed by many people following the case.
Maya later shared another post about a child abuse case in Bangladesh, captioning it, “Bangladesh main insaaf hogaya!!!!!” or “Justice has been served in Bangladesh!!!!!” The post appeared to highlight her demand for stronger and more decisive action in cases involving children.
The incident has also drawn strong criticism over the way the young victim was shown during media coverage. Amar Khan reacted after seeing footage in which the girl’s father appeared to be trying to cover her face.
“If the father is covering his daughter's face, camera people and channels should have some courtesy and humanity not to post... disgustinggggg. Shameful!!” Amar wrote.
Her reaction focused on the child’s privacy and dignity, with the actress questioning why the minor’s face was shown despite her father’s apparent efforts to protect her identity.
The case has since sparked an emotional response on social media, with many users demanding justice for the young girl and stronger measures to protect children. Others have focused on media ethics and questioned why footage showing the distressed child was allowed to circulate.
As the reported investigation continues, the facts of the case will need to be established by the relevant authorities. For now, the incident has sparked a wider conversation about child safety, justice and the need for responsible media coverage when vulnerable minors are involved.
