New Delhi: Uorfi Javed, a fashion influencer, has addressed concerns raised by a widely circulated video of her alleged “arrest” that made news on Friday. She claimed to have been “arrested” by the “fashion police” in a recent video that she uploaded on her official Instagram account.
The most recent film, which has a jail setup, was made in association with a clothing line. She is seen holding up a prison sign and wearing an orange dress in the video.
“Arrested by the fashion police for my fierce fashion game, but nothing can stop me!” she posted on her official Instagram account. I’m thrilled to announce the introduction of my line, FREAKIN’ UORFICATION, with @Freakinsindia. Prepare yourself for some hot looks!”
The former Bigg Boss OTT contestant had raised some eyebrows on Friday by posting a video of herself seemingly getting “arrested” by the police.
In the video, two women dressed as police officers “arrested” Uorfi Javed allegedly over the length of her outfit. The video showed her being taken away in a vehicle by the women, creating quite a buzz on the internet.
The video even drew a sharp response from the Mumbai Police, which clarified that there was no real arrest involved.
“A viral video of a woman being allegedly arrested by Mumbai Police, in a case of obscenity is not true – insignia & uniform have been misused,” Mumbai Police wrote on X (formerly Twitter) and shared a screengrab of Uorfi Javed’s viral video.
“One Can’t Violate Law Of The Land, For Cheap Publicity!,” they added.
A criminal case has been filed against the participants in the “misleading” film at the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai, according to the police.
They declared, “The fake inspector is under arrest and the vehicle has been seized too, while further investigation is ongoing.”
