Social media in Pakistan is rife with pictures and videos from the wedding festivities of the country’s brave cop, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shehrbano Naqvi, who has just entered wedlock with her fiance Ashtar Naqvi.
The police officer rose to the ladder of fame last year, owing to her valiance and heroic acts of saving a woman from a mob in Lahore’s Achhra Market and remained in the headlines for the bravery.
ASP Shehrbano recently got married and the events of the wedding concluded on Sunday with valima reception in Punjab’s provincial capital.
Pictures and videos from the lady cop’s mehndi were shared by a professional photographer and the makeup artist on Instagram.
On this event, ASP Shehrbano wore a heavily embellished yellow lehnga and choli with a touch of red, green and peach colours in it.
Separately, a video from her baraat (wedding) event was also shared on an Instagram page. Shehrbano looked heavenly beautiful in traditional Pakistani bride look. She wore a red bridal dress with golden jewellery and embellishment.
Later, snaps from Shehrbano and Ashtar’s valima compiled in a video were also shared by the same photographer who posted the images from the mehndi event.
On this day, Shehrbano opted for a stylish golden-beige lehnga with minimal jewellery in silver crystal.
In February, a Punjab police party led by ASP Shehrbano, who is the sub-divisional police officer at Gulbarg, Lahore, rescued a woman surrounded by a mob on suspicion of blasphemy after she was seen wearing a printed shirt bearing Arabic script.
The woman was encircled and harassed by an angry crowd that wanted to punish her for allegedly wearing a dress that they thought was adorned by “holy verses” as the print. However, it was later revealed that the dress was from a renowned Arabic clothing brand and the text printed on the dress was spelled Halwa in Arabic, which means “sweet”.
