Patari, which is in the news for all the wrong reasons lately, was caught demoting the soundtrack of Faris Shafi — Meesha Shafi’s brother — because the music streaming platform had allegedly teamed up with Ali Zafar, Dawn Images has reported.
The allegations come at a time when Patari is in a serious management crisis. The core-team announced that it was parting ways with the company after Patari allegedly failed to sideline Khalid Bajwa, the former CEO, who is currently under internal investigation for sexual harassment.
