In a development that has sent shockwaves across the city, Nisar Khan, the owner of the renowned Charsi Tikka restaurant in Peshawar's Namakmandi, has been taken into custody.
The incident came to light when disturbing images circulated widely on various social media platforms, igniting public outrage over his inappropriate behavior towards foreign tourists.
Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) acted swiftly upon discovering the incriminating images, directing immediate legal action against Khan. Subsequently, a case was registered against him under section 294 of the Pakistan Penal Code in Peshawar.
The charges stem from accusations of indecent conduct involving foreign tourists who were residing at a local hotel.
This is not the first time Nisar Khan, colloquially known as 'Charsi,' has faced accusations of inappropriate behavior with tourists, particularly those from abroad. Social media discussions have previously centered on allegations of non-consensual actions against him.
Charsi Tikka has long been a significant attraction in Peshawar's culinary landscape, drawing tourists from far and wide for its delectable offerings.
However, this recent incident has cast a shadow over the eatery's reputation and raised questions about the treatment of tourists in the city. Authorities have vowed to ensure that justice is served in this case, as the community awaits further developments.
