Famous Pakistani singer Annie Khalid spent the night of her marriage in hospital after she went into shock over a police raid on her wedding party that violated government rules.
Lahore Police raided the party on Saturday as it violated a rule set by the Punjab government for all marriage functions to end by 10 pm. Witnesses said the police and officials of the city district government reached the venue in Lahore Cantonment at 10.30 pm and asked people to end the party.
The officials exchanged harsh words with the family and friends of the newlywed couple, triggering a scuffle. Friends of the couple escorted the singer and her businessman husband and helped them evade arrest. According to the law, the bridegroom can be arrested for not complying with government orders for ending the party at 10 pm.
Police later registered a case against Annie's father-in-law and 15 of her relatives and friends for ‘attacking’ police personnel and hampering official business.
Annie was rushed to a hospital from the party as her condition deteriorated.
