Woman harassed by mob wasn’t coerced into apologising: ASP
ASP’s remark came in response to a question about why woman was asked to apologise when she was not at fault in situation
LAHORE: Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Syeda Shehrbano Naqvi - who is the sub-divisional police officer at Gulberg Lahore - said the woman harassed by an enraged mob in Ichhra Bazaar was not coerced into apologising for wearing the shirt with Arabic script.
The cop added that the woman, who was later seen seated between two bearded clerics in one of the videos, was shifted to a safe location and her consent was taken before meeting those men. ‘We did not coerce the woman into saying anything whatsoever.
The consent was taken, she said what she said on her behalf,’ ASP Shehrbano said while speaking during Geo News programme ‘Geo Pakistan’ on Tuesday.
The ASP’s remark came in response to a question about why the woman was asked to apologise when she was not at fault in the situation, particularly after it was pointed out by social media users.
Over Rs50m spent on cops’ treatment: Police authorities have expended more than Rs50 million on the health welfare of cops so far this year.
According to the office of the Inspector General Police (IGP), Punjab, 670 officers and personnel were provided financial support for their medical treatment.
