    At least nine crew members were injured on Wednesday when a security guard opened fire on the set of a drama serial, Mohabbat Dagh Ki Surat at a residence in Karachi’s Khayaban-e-Shujaat, DHA.

    The security guard stationed at the bungalow where the shooting was taking place, identified as Gul Bhai, opened fire after an argument with the producer of the drama, according to a statement issued by the Karachi Police media cell.

    “Police have arrested [the] security guard with a rifle,” the police statement said, adding that all the injured crew members were shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).

    As per a video shared on social media, the incident occurred after the producer had an argument with the guard over food.

    Actors Sami Khan and Asma Abbasi were reportedly present at the shooting location when this horrendous incident occured but are thankfully safe. They were shooting for the series, Mohabbat Dagh Ki Surat by 7th Sky Entertainment for Geo TV.

    No casualties have been reported and the Police is currently investigating this case further.

    Yasir Hussain took to his Instagram stories and addressed the incident, saying: “The guard didn’t shoot the actors or the producers at the shoot. But those poor workers that are working on set for Rs1,000 per day,” he said. “They’re not the ones sitting in the AC, and eat outside in the parking lot,” he explained.

    “With the guard, the production house should also be punished. This ugly system should be punished,” he urged.

    His comments highlight important criticism of the entertainment industry and the way it treats labour.

    Hussain wants them to be given health insurance, which should be a must for all workers. Healthcare insurance should be a basic right for everyone employed in a country that doesn’t provide free healthcare.
