Case No. 9 Exposes Pakistan’s Dark Reality of Blasphemy, Lies, and Women’s Courage

The drama “Case No. 9” has caught everyone’s attention for its powerful and painful look at Pakistan’s harsh realities. It doesn’t just deal with rape — it also tackles the very sensitive topics of blasphemy and fake social media propaganda, making it one of the boldest shows on TV.

At first, viewers thought that the character Rohit (played by Junaid Khan), who is the best friend and business partner of Kamran (Faysal Quraishi), was added just to represent a minority. But in Episode 11, the real reason behind his story is revealed.

Rohit tells his wife Manisha (Naveen Waqar) that he feels morally bound to support Kamran, even though Kamran raped Seher (Saba Qamar). Years ago, when they were in college, Kamran had saved Rohit from a mob that accused him of blasphemy. Kamran risked his life to stop the mob, proving that Rohit was innocent and that the rumors were false. Because of that, Rohit feels deeply indebted to him.

Writer Shahzeb Khanzada handles this heavy topic very wisely — he brings it up just enough to make the audience think deeply, and then moves on without making it overly dramatic.

The show also highlights how social media can destroy lives. In Episode 12, Kamran hires a propaganda team to spread lies about Seher, posting her photo online and claiming she was after his money. Soon, the hashtag #JusticeforKamran starts trending — turning the truth upside down. The drama powerfully shows how easy it is to twist facts online and how badly such lies can hurt victims and their families.

The real strength of “Case No. 9” lies in its women characters. Seher, Beenish (Amina Sheikh), Manisha, and even Kamran’s wife Kiran (Rushna Khan) stand strong despite the pain they face. Manisha’s courage to support Seher, even though her own husband defends Kamran, shows deep integrity. Kiran’s struggle — torn between love for her husband and the truth of his crime — adds another emotional layer.

With every episode, the drama keeps viewers hooked. Even though many hope Seher will get justice in the end, the story keeps you guessing — because in Pakistan, truth doesn’t always win easily.
