Controversial YouTuber Rajab Butt was thrashed by lawyers during his court appearance at the City Court in Karachi on Monday.

The social media activist, who is facing a blasphemy case, had been summoned to attend the hearing.

As a result of the assault, Rajab Butt sustained serious injuries to his jaw and mouth, leaving him bleeding.

Fellow TikToker Nadeem Naniwala was also reportedly assaulted by the lawyers, and both Butt and Naniwala’s clothes were torn during the altercation.

The lawyers claimed that Butt had insulted them in a video before the hearing. Following the assault, Butt’s lawyer from Lahore, Mian Ashfaq, escorted him out of the court premises to the Karachi Bar.

According to Butt’s lawyer, a promise was obtained from him that he would refrain from such actions in the future.

Meanwhile, the court extended Butt’s interim bail until January 13.
