He added that the police had launched a search operation at the place and got confirmation from local shopkeepers about the incident.
Acting on a tip-off, the police has nabbed the suspect and registered a case against him under Section 509 (uttering any word or making any gesture, which is intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Meanwhile, during the interrogation, the police added, that he realised his offence and also apologised for his wrongful doing.
The Preedy police added that the held suspect scared the vlogger, who hails from Turkiye, and the video had “defamed” the nation as well.

The SSP said the held suspect would be presented before a magistrate concerned on Saturday.
