Shabnam Majeed, who was flying back to Lahore in the PIA flight PK-653 after performing at the Independence Day celebration at the Presidency overnight, started shouting mid-flight and forced the pilot to divert back the flight to Islamabad.
She claimed that the purse contained Rs18,000 in cash, credit card and gold ornaments.
After the PIA flight was diverted back to Islamabad, the singer was brought to the departure lounge to search her missing purse, but her effort proved unproductive.
Finally, she lodged a complaint with the PIA authorities and again boarded the flight for Lahore but it all caused a considerable delay of the flight and inconvenience to the passengers as well.
