Pakistan's Punjab police have registered a case against a professional singer and his team for singing a song linked to incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan during an event.

"Police have booked Faraz Amjad Khan and his team members for singing a song titled ‘Qaidi No 804' during a government-sponsored cultural event in Lahore, on Saturday night," Punjab police said.

The police said the singer and his team tried to "incite the public" by giving the government-sponsored event political colour, as the song is associated with the jailed Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf founder.
