Popular fashion designer house Elan is one of the biggest brands in Pakistan. The company is well-known for designing dresses for Kate Middleton during her royal visit to Pakistan last year.
Recently, Elan has become embroiled in a scandal when one of their employees posted a video online. He claims that he as well as 144 others are held against their will in one of the company’s warehouses.
The man took to social media to plead to Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar and Prime Minister Imran Khan for his freedom, safety, and justice for the discrimination he faced at Elan’s hands.
Here is the video:

According to this man, Khadijah Shah, the founder and creative director of the leading clothing brand, has not paid wages to her workers for two months and is refusing to let him and others to leave the warehouse for six months.
“I worked for their Elan Lawn 2020 project. They asked to bring in extra labor to which I obliged. However, when I asked for payment, my staff and I were imprisoned here. We are being humiliated every day.”
The video went viral on social media and people are demanding action. However, Khadijah Shah quickly responded to these allegations and discredited them.
