Sajal Aly, Mira Sethi and a host of other celebrities are praising the cop’s bravery for the way she handled the situation.
ASP Syeda Shehrbano Naqvi is being hailed as a hero by Pakistan’s celebrities after she saved a woman from a charged mob in Lahore’s Ichra Bazaar after someone accused her of committing ‘blasphemy’ by wearing a dress bearing Arabic calligraphy.
Naqvi’s bravery is on full display in several videos that have surfaced on social media. In one clip, the police officer can be seen rescuing the woman from the bazaar while a mob hurls abuses in the background. Another sees her addressing the mob, urging them to trust the police while convincing them that no blasphemous act had been committed.
