    Ayyan has stayed away from the limelight ever since she was granted bail four months following her arrest in 2015 on charges of money laundering after customs officials had caught her flying to Dubai while being in possession of over half a million dollars. But looks like she’ll be springing back in action.

    In August 2019, Mohsin was found guilty of threatening his then-wife Fatema Sohail by a lower court in Lahore.

    Fatema, in an explosive social media account posted on July 20 had alleged that Mohsin was domestically abusive and had hit her on multiple occasions. She later filed an FIR against Mohsin on grounds of abusive behaviour and that Mohsin extorted money from her.

    While the court found Mohsin guilty of threatening his wife, he was found innocent of breach of trust and demanding money from his wife.

    Meanwhile, it is also pertinent to mention here that in May 2018, Pataris’ CEO Khalid Bajwa was accused of misusing his power to extract sexual favors out of women. Though Bajwa initially resigned from his positon, he was later secretly rehired by the company. Six of Patari’s original team members resigned in July of the same team after it was clear that Bajwa was not stepping down.

    In August 2018, Patari allegedly complied to a request made by Ali Zafar to change the ranking of a song released by Meesha Shafi’s brother Faris Shafi. Zafar, who at the time had been accused of sexual harassment by Meesha apparently felt that the promotion of Faris’ song made it seem that Patari was on Meesha’s side in their legal dispute.
