Lahore police have arrested social media personality Noor Butt following allegations of dangerous driving and performing car drifting manoeuvres on public roads. The incident has attracted attention after videos showing the vehicle being driven recklessly surfaced on social media.
According to a report by 24NewsHD, traffic police took action after a female driver was reportedly seen driving at excessive speeds and repeatedly performing dangerous drifting stunts in different areas.
Police officials said the driving behaviour posed a serious threat to other road users, including motorists and pedestrians. The vehicle was allegedly seen swerving across the road and performing uncontrolled manoeuvres, creating potentially dangerous situations for commuters.
The incident prompted traffic police personnel to intervene before the situation could lead to a serious accident. Officers intercepted the vehicle near Lahore’s Central Business District (CBD), close to Kalma Chowk.
During the operation, the driver was identified as popular TikToker Noor Butt. She was subsequently taken into custody by the authorities.
Videos showing the alleged dangerous driving have also circulated online, attracting reactions from social media users and raising concerns about road safety and irresponsible driving practices.
Police Register Case Against Noor Butt
Following her arrest, a formal case was registered against Noor Butt at Naseerabad Police Station. The case was filed on the complaint of Senior Traffic Warden Sajid Khalil.
According to the available details, the complaint concerns allegations of car drifting and overspeeding on public roads.
The police action highlights the importance of enforcing traffic regulations, particularly when dangerous driving puts the lives of other people at risk.
Car drifting and excessive speeding on public roads can create serious hazards, as drivers may lose control of their vehicles or collide with other road users. Such activities are generally associated with controlled motorsport environments rather than busy public streets.
Lahore Traffic Police Chief Praises Officers
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Lahore Syed Abdul Raheem Shirazi said that protecting public safety remains the top priority of the city’s traffic police.
He appreciated the officers who responded to the incident and intercepted the vehicle before the alleged driving behaviour could result in a major accident.
The CTO also announced appreciation certificates and rewards for the traffic police team in recognition of its effective action.
The recognition is intended to encourage traffic personnel to remain vigilant and take timely action against violations that threaten public safety.
Incident Raises Concerns About Road Safety
The arrest has once again drawn attention to dangerous driving practices and the responsibilities of social media personalities who have large online audiences.
Car drifting videos and high-speed driving clips can attract considerable attention on social media. However, performing such stunts on public roads can expose innocent commuters and pedestrians to serious risks.
Traffic authorities regularly emphasise the need to follow speed limits and respect road safety regulations. The latest incident in Lahore serves as another reminder that public roads are meant for safe transportation, not uncontrolled driving demonstrations.
The case against Noor Butt follows the police intervention near Kalma Chowk, while the incident continues to generate discussion about traffic enforcement and responsible behaviour on Pakistan’s roads.
