The lawyers did not spare Nadeem Naniwala, a TikToker, either.
The lawyers alleged that Rajab had shouted abuses at them in a video.
Mian Ishfaque, counsel for the YouTuber, who was accompanying him from Lahore, escorted him to the Karachi Bar in order to save him from violent lawyers.
The content creators are no strangers to legal trouble.
In September this year, Rajab was booked by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) for allegedly promoting online gambling apps on social media.
Nadeem was also booked by the NCCIA for allegedly promoting gambling apps on his social media, but he was also arrested in September for displaying a fake registration number – ‘IK-804’ – on his car.
On being quizzed, he couldn’t satisfy the police with regard to displaying the fake registration number, IK-804, which is said to be the prisoner number allotted to incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan.
In March, a case was also registered against Rajab under blasphemy and cybercrime laws due to a “religious stir” caused by the launch of his perfume brand that allegedly mocked Pakistan’s blasphemy law.
Similarly, last December, the Youtuber found himself in legal trouble when he was arrested for illegally keeping a lion cub and weapons at his residence.
He pleaded guilty in January this year to owning an undocumented wild animal after accepting the cub as a wedding gift.
Interim bail extended
The court extended the interim bail of Rajab Butt until January 13 in prayers blasphemy case.
