Islamabad: A 25-year old staffer at Pakistan’s Airport Security Force has been penalised by her employers after a video of her lip-syncing to an Indian song went viral on social media. In the brief video, the girl is seen lip-syncing to a popular Punjabi song while wearing a cap with an image of Pakistan’s flag on it. The authorities decided to take action against the girl in the wake of the growing popularity of the video on social media.

According to news agency PTI, the Airport Security Force (ASF) has withheld her increments and perks for the next two years for violating the code of conduct. She was also warned of strict action by the officials if she got involved in any other violation in the future, the report said.

Apart from that, the ASF administration has also issued an advisory for its staff, asking them to not partake in any controversial activity on social media. The 25-year-old girl has been working at the Sialkot airport for the last two years.

Reportedly, an electronic channel aired the video, lashing out at the woman for lip-synching to an Indian song while wearing a cap with the Pakistani flag on it. Recently, Pakistan's accountability bureau had launched a probe after a video surfaced in which a Polish girl, draped in the Pakistani flag, performed her version of Kiki Challenge on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight to celebrate Pakistan's Independence Day. The video had gone viral on social media, prompting authorities to take action on the matter.
