Jail 
This season, a Jail was introduced to the housemates. This Jail was located in the Gym Area. The Jail could only be opened and closed by the Wazir, who had the power to send housemates to the jail. The Wazir would hand the card to the prisoner, then chain them and lock them in the Jail.

Yellow Card - 6 Hours of Imprisonment - Can use as many times per week

Jail Punishment

Wazir’s Musheer 

This season also took an intriguing turn with the introduction of a unique house dynamic. Housemates were now eligible to take on the pivotal role of "Musheer", serving as both an assistant and a counsellor to the Wazir (Captain), thus earning the title and responsibilities associated with this prestigious position; accompanying  and counselling the Wazir with all the decisions. The role of Musheer does not grant a housemate immunity from nominations.

Later on, Badshah Salaamat announced that the Wazir of the house will now be able to choose two of his housemates as his Musheers.
