All hell broke loose at a local shopping center in Faisalabad as women turned savage after learning about Sapphire’s end-of-season sale.
Things took a rather serious turn when a few ladies decided to dial in the cavalry – the menfolk. What started as a ladies-only fashion fracas quickly transformed into a mixed-gender melee. Unfortunately, the men didn’t come armed with shopping bags; they brought something far more alarming – guns.
Thankfully, the Punjab police arrived at the scene to put the armed men’s “mardanigi” in check as they apprehended six individuals involved in the brawl. Clips of the incident went viral all over social media.
But what, pray to tell, sparked this shopping cart scrum of epic proportions? Sapphire brand’s promotional offer of flat 30-50% off on their stylish selections.
One netizen explained why this is “no ordinary sale”.
Realistically speaking,
1- Sapphire 3pc unstitched lawn dresses are cheaper than Khaadi( & other brand) 3pcs & fabric quality is better.
2- Sapphire duppatay are HASEEEN. Period.
3- Sale is always FLAT discount.
4- They always restock articles in good quantity.

Pictures of long queues of determined shoppers had been circulating since dawn, signaling that this was no ordinary sale day – it was an all-out battle for bargains.
The surreal scene of shoppers tussling for tunics and grappling for garments was accompanied by the ominous backdrop of shouted expletives and a scattering of price tags.
Perhaps this surreal saga is a cautionary tale about the power of sales and discounts, demonstrating how even the most sensible individuals can be swept away in a shopping frenzy.
Maybe shop online next time (Food for thought).
sad this is
