National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Multan has arrested a TikToker Usman Shabbir for allegedly uploading objectionable videos of a man on social media.
According to reports, the content creator allegedly uploaded intimate or explicit footage without the subject’s consent.
The NCCIA produced Usman in a Multan court, which granted a three‑day physical remand so investigators can recover more videos, examine his phone, and perform forensic checks.
This case follows earlier incidents across Pakistan involving social media creators accused of producing “immoral” or indecent content.
In September 2025, Swabi police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa arrested a TikToker identified as Abdul Mughiz.
According to officials, Mughiz was creating videos while dressed as a woman and uploading them to TikTok, sparking “severe resentment and anxiety” in the local community.
The FIR filed in his case fell under Section 294 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which penalizes “obscene acts” in public.
After his arrest, Mughiz reportedly confessed and pledged to “refrain from such immoral activities” going forward.
But that is not all. In February 2025, Punjab Police arrested another TikToker, Haider Ali, in Multan after he filmed an “inappropriate” video outside the Government Graduate College for Women in Burewala.
In the video, Haider used disrespectful language toward female students and adopted a troubling attitude. After the footage went viral, a photo of him handcuffed and standing beside two female police officers also made rounds online.
According to reports, Haider Ali admitted to wrongdoing during questioning and expressed remorse. “All female students of degree college are my sisters,” he said, pledging not to repeat such behavior.
In a separate incident, police in Mansehra also arrested two TikTokers for harassing women online, including one who posted videos featuring weapons and ammunition.
This case further highlights the variety of misuse that authorities are now targeting.
These developments underscore a broader crackdown by Pakistani law enforcement on social media users who cross legal and moral lines.
Authorities are signaling that content which invades privacy, disrespects cultural norms, or threatens social order will not be tolerated, even on social media platforms.
