YouTube star charged with blasphemy over perfume
Bangkok Post
|March 27, 2025
A Pakistani YouTube star has been charged with blasphemy after launching a perfume named after the very law he has fallen foul of, police said on Tuesday.
-
Rajab Butt has one of the largest online followings in the Muslim-majority country and has been embroiled in controversy for years, including over his brief custody of a lion cub.
In a recent video, since deleted from his social media accounts, Butt launched his "295" perfume which refers to blasphemy legislation in the penal code.
He said it followed a case filed against him last year, over an earlier video deemed blasphemous by Islamists.
