Police detain barbers in Charsadda for 'violating ban' against styling of beards
|
[DAWN] Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa police in Shabqadar tehsil of Charsadda detained at least four barbers for styling customers' beards despite an unofficial 'ban' imposed by a local traders' union which had termed such beards "un-Islamic", it emerged on Thursday.
The incident came to the fore in a video widely circulated on social media this week.
In the video, a man named Sameen, who is the president of the shopkeepers union, can be seen guiding police in the arrest of the hairdressers. He asks the hairdressers why they were shaping beards in a "stylish" manner, when there is a "ban" in place on the same.
According to Sameen, some days back the union had "banned the designing of beards" and had informed all hairdressers of the same. "Despite our decision, some shop owners were trimming the beards in stylish designs," the union leader said in the video.
He goes on to say that on the union's complaint, police had arrested four employees from different barbershops. "Police have imposed a fine of Rs5,000 on them each and warned them not to shape beards in that fashion," he claimed.
Kinda makes that nuke exchange with India sound better, hmmm?
Shabqadar cop shoppe confirmed the detentions, which took place on September 30. An official on duty at the station told DawnNewsTV, on condition of anonymity, that the police had received a complaint from an office-bearer of a traders' union.
"They complained that despite a ban on giving a stylish shape to beards, some hairdressers were still doing so," said the police officer, adding that the men were released after a few hours in detention.
