The law enforcement agency said has started an investigation into the case and that it would write a letter to Facebook on Monday, urging the social media website to disclose the details of the person who leaked the private videos on the platform.
Last week, “compromising videos” of Pirzada went viral on social media. While a huge number of users called her out for “profanity” others came out in her support and slammed the breach of privacy.
#RabiPirzada was the top trend in the country on Friday, with Twitter users hitting out at the breach.
Aurat Haq, a Karachi-based activist group also released a statement condemning the violation of privacy, as well as the abuse of trust in an intimate relationship.
“We condemn the weaponising of a woman’s body against her for revenge porn. While we’re on the subject – let’s deconstruct why we shame women for their expression of sexuality,” the statement went on to say.
