Lahore: A Pakistani court yesterday banned the release of Bollywood movie Phantom in the country on a plea filed by Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed against it alleging that the film, set on post-26/11 attacks, contains “filthy propaganda” against him and his outfit.

In the petition filed in the High Court on August 8, Hafiz Saeed’s advocate alleged that there is a direct threat to the life of Saeed and his associates from the content of the trailer of the film. Pic/PTI
