Overview
- A Lahore sessions court received a petition seeking a criminal case against Saba Qamar for allegedly wearing a Punjab Police superintendent’s uniform and badge without authorisation.
- Additional Sessions Judge Ilyas Rehan directed police to file an investigative report by January 14, 2026, and adjourned further proceedings until that date.
- The filing by citizen Wasim Zawar, through Advocate Aftab Bajwa, cites Pakistan Penal Code sections 171 and 419 and argues the act harmed the image and morale of the Punjab Police.
- Reports note Qamar wore the uniform in the 2023 drama Serial Killer with a valid NOC, while the petition focuses on a dressing‑room video and photos shared on social media that are no longer on her accounts.
- Neither Qamar nor her representatives have issued an official response, and legal experts say misuse of official garb can carry imprisonment, fines, or both.
