Designer Maria B husband Tahir Saeed is out after spending a few hours behind the bars, however, the couple’s reason for letting their corona positive cook flee has worsened their case.

The designer shares a video on social media yesterday where she was seen making a plea to Prime Minister Imran Khan regarding how Lahore police raided her house and treated her husband like a criminal. In the clip, she informed he was taken away by policemen who showed up at their home past midnight.

What actually happened?

According to reports, Maria’s husband Saeed was arrested as the couple was negligent who tried to let their cook, who had tested positive for coronavirus, flee back to his village. The couple, in fact, put several lives in danger with this act.

After facing a backlash on social media, they made another video and tried to clear their stance.

Actor Hamza Ali Abbasi supported the designer and said he was “disgusted by the behavior of authorities and media who in the time of crisis were creating chaos and making false accusations.

“These 2 are good ppl who have been wronged. Maria B. and her husband Tahir Saeed have clarified the allegations of irresponsibly sending their cook to his village after testing positive for COVID-19,” said the actor on his official Facebook page.

He continued, “Maria B stated in a video message that they got their cook tested as responsible citizens when he complained of mild symptoms after returning from his hometown; Vehari. If they had not bothered, he would have went on infecting many people.”

Now, an alleged audio clip of an official of Punjab police also made rounds today. Listen to what he had to say?

Next time you buy anything from this cruel #MariaB just remember her cook to whom these people kick out while he was infected. Such a shame these people are. I urge everybody to boycott her brand #MariaB

Boycotting #MariaB, not only for the deliberate negligence but also for trying to gain sympathy of people with half truth and crocodile tears risking lives of scores who might be infected with #COVID now.
