A video showing the travel blogger, Eva Bianka Zubeck, performing thepopular ‘Kiki Challenge’ in and outside a PIA aircraft went viral on socialmedia on Monday. The national flag carrier has denied any involvement inthe incident.
The NAB took notice of the video as it believed that the woman had not onlydisgraced the national flag by wrapping it around her body but alsoviolated the security codes of national airlines and the airport.
