He also shared a video, supposedly showing the damage caused inside his house. “This is what they did to me while I was away from my house!”, he added.

Bilal went on to say, “And that’s not about it I have been victim of their blackmailing and unfair behaviour for a very long time! I stayed quite because obviously as an artist my priority is my career but these people have been taking advantageous my situation for a very long time!”

Earlier in the day, a video of Bilal fighting with his brother and attacking a girl had gone viral.

The incident happened in a residential area while officials of Dolphin Force were also present at the scene. According to Bilal, the woman present at the scene was a friend of his brother s while his brother claims that she was her wife.

The video shows the two brothers having a verbal argument which escalates when Bilal attacks his brother. He then proceeds to kick and slap the girl, prompting the police to intervene.

Every human has the right to live with dignity and security, regardless of gender. I am a believer of peace, however I also believe in establishing boundaries when that peace is repeatedly compromised by another, regardless of gender.

According to police, Bilal Saeed also wanted to file an FIR against his brother but no case was registered as the two parties later reconciled.
