During the hearing, the judge expressed unhappiness with her lawyer’s tardiness. Dolly was chastised. Dolly came under fire after one of her controversial videos went viral on social media. In the footage, two young people could be seen setting a forest on fire at the Margalla Hills to add a “dramatic effect” to their TikTok video. Consequently, wildlife officials demanded action against her, after which the Islamabad police registered a case against her. Dolly, however, denied the accusation.
