Probe ordered into Gul Panra’s viral video at DC Khyber’s bungalow

The dance video of famous Pashto singer Gul Panra in the bungalow of the deputy commissioner Khyber tribal district has gone viral on social media after which the officials ordered the Assistant Commissioner Muhammad Imran to present a detailed report within 24 hours.

According to a statement issued from the deputy commissioner’s office, the district administration has nothing to do with the TikTok video of Gul Panra which has been made at the DC’s bungalow in Landikotal.

It said the matter will be probed as to how a family entered the official residence of the officer and then made a TikTok video.

The statement further said no permission was taken from the DC for the video and the matter wasn’t brought before the assistant commissioner either. It was a private family visit of Gul Panra, therefore, no question of official protocol arises, the statement read.

People have shown mixed reaction over the viral video of Gul Panra, with some supporting her for promoting local tourism and peace, while some others, particularly the religious circles, criticising her for uploading dance video against local traditions. Critics say the bungalow used to be a centre for Jirgas of tribal elders where problems of people were resolved, but now it is used for dancing which will impact the local culture and traditions.

Notably, officials are tight-lipped over the exact arrival time of Gul Panra to the DC’s bungalow. Assistant Commissioner Muhammad Imran said details will be shared after probe.
