Muhammad Gulab was taken into custody for circulating a fake picture on social media, falsely claiming that his friend had married a British girl after starting an affair on Facebook.

Additional SHO Zahir Shah Khan said after receiving the news about the presence of the British girl in the area, a police party reached the house of Muhammad Ishaq, where the news was proven nothing but a joke played by Ishaq’s friend Muhammad Ghulam, who was running his FB account under name of “Gulab Jaman.”
Subsequently, the police took the man into custody on charges of spreading rumors and false information on social media.
On the other hand, the people of the area have launched a campaign for the release of Muhammad Gulab.
