Veteran Punjabi singer Naseebo Lal has decided not to pursue legal action against her husband, Naveed Hussain, despite filing a police complaint accusing him of assault.
In an FIR filed at the Shahdara Town Police Station on Saturday, Lal claimed that she was sitting in the garden at her residence in Shahdara Town at 5pm on Friday when her husband returned home and began verbally abusing her. She alleged that he then struck her face with a brick, injuring the left side and nose.
The singer maintained that Hussain would often fight with her and called for legal action against him.
The report was registered under Section 354 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which pertains to assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty.
However, in a recent statement submitted to the police, she stated that she and her husband resolved the matter among themselves yesterday. She added that she no longer wished to pursue legal action against him.
