SWABI, May 17: Hundreds of CDs were set on fire by police here on Thursday which officials said contained pornographic material. The ‘anti-obscenity’ drive in the district was launched after a blast in a CD shop in the Shewa Adda area on April 22.
“It is a message to owners of CD shops to close down their businesses or face action,” police sources said.
Reports from some areas said that people there had bought CDs from shops and then set them on fire. Thousands of pornographic cassettes and CDs were destroyed in Tandkohi, Murghuz, Kernel Sher Killi, Tehsil Chota Lahor and Doabian areas.
