Do we even need to deliberate if physical assault is a crime? Apparently some people still can’t decide who was on the wrong side of the law in the Uzma Khan-Amna Usman-Usman Malik scandal. But Pakistani celebrities, they are increasingly making their stance known.

Many celebs have come out in support of Uzma Khan after the Yalghaar actress was attacked and assaulted at a house in Lahore.

In a public statement, the Pakistani actress revealed that the daughters of Malik Riaz broke into her home with 12 gunmen and proceeded to assault her and vandalize the home. Other versions of the story say that wasn’t her place.

Amna Usman’s version

On the other hand, Amna Usman claimed responsibility for the attack. She asserts that it was her home since her husband Usman Malik paid for it.

Reports say that the home is not legally in his name.

Amna Usman justified her conduct with the fact that Uzma Khan was her husband’s mistress. The cheating husband is yet to be held accountable.
