What Happened Inside the Court
Rajab Butt had appeared for a bail hearing under Section 295-A of the Pakistan Penal Code—the provision dealing with hurting religious sentiments—a case linked to earlier controversies around his content, including a perfume branded “295” and remarks critics found provocative.
The court extended interim bail until January 13, 2026. Moments after the hearing ended, a group of lawyers confronted Butt, accusing him of insulting the legal community in prior vlogs—specifically mocking a complainant and questioning whether he “even looked like a lawyer.”
What began as verbal confrontation rapidly escalated into physical violence. Multiple videos show punches, shirt-tearing, and chaos as lawyers argued among themselves—some attacking, others attempting to de-escalate.
Police later confirmed they were reviewing CCTV footage. As of this writing, no confirmed arrests have been announced.
