A Pakistan-based artist and performer named Abuzar Madhu allegedly arrested by the Lahore police late at night for having long hair.
Reports state that he was casually waiting for a rickshaw in the wee hours of the morning when the police pulled up in front of him and took him to the station.
A Twitter user named, Natasha Javed narrated the shocking account of the arrest. She wrote, ”Last weekend, my friend Abuzar was picked up by Punjab Police in Lahore. He had to spend a night in Model town police station, in a lock-up. Reason: his long hair.”
She further wrote, “Abuzar is an artist & a teacher. He was waiting for a Rickshaw near Kalma Chawk when a police van stopped him. They asked for his ID card, which luckily he had. He showed the ID card. The police officer then asked others to put him in the police van ‘Ainu Gaddi wich Pao.”

According to reports, Abuzar Madhu stated that the police could not comprehend why he looked the way he did. His hair was tied in a bun and wore a single bangle around his arm, which made him look ‘questionable’ in the eyes of the authorities. The police told him that his appearance was the reason for his arrest and that he was out on the streets at 3 am.
Below is how the netizens reacted:

Your friend because of his education, job, social network seems to have a decent amount of privilege and even then was subjected to this treatment… I shudder to think what they do to those who have no such safety net to fall back on.
