Two suspects involved in a shooting outside the residence of controversial vlogger Rajab Butt in Lahore have been arrested by police. The incident is believed to be an act of revenge linked to an online dispute.

According to Chung police, the arrested individuals have been identified as Kashif Chauhan and Farrukh.

Investigators said the shooting was carried out at the direction of a man known as Shani Tiger, allegedly on behalf of Shahzad Bhatti, a social media user who had recently engaged in a heated argument with Rajab Butt online.

Police confirmed that both suspects have been handed over to relevant department for further investigation.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time Butt’s home has been targeted, multiple reports of gunfire by unidentified individuals have surfaced in recent months.

Rajab Butt is currently abroad and has requested authorities to ensure the safety of his family in Pakistan.

He reportedly left the country after some religious groups sought legal action against him over alleged blasphemous remarks against the companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

While the vlogger has not directly addressed the controversy, he stated that his explanation has been recorded and will be released in an upcoming video.
