The Abbottabad police on Tuesday night arrested two men and confiscated their vehicle after a woman published a harassment complaint on her Facebook wall, along with a car photo that shows the two suspects sitting on him.
A large number of women in the country in all groups and age classes continue to face violence and support sexual, mental and physical abuse despite the improvements in education, according to a 2023 report of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
The growing number of such cases shows that society is not yet running without safeguarding women.
According to the police officer of the Abbottabad district, Umar Tafail, a first information report (FIR) has registered against the defendant at the Mirpur police station on Wednesday under sections 294 (any act that is considered obscene in public) and 509-34 (insulting modesty or cause of sexual harassment) of the Pakistan Criminal Code.
The FIR was registered in the complaint of the chief of agent Murad Ali in the police post of Jinnah Abad, since he mentioned that the incident occurred within its limits.
The FIGUE pointed out that the woman had shared a publication in her Facebook timeline with a photo of the car in which two people were sitting. “The suspects used immoral words for the victim publicly and called her to sit with them in the car,” said the FIR.
Dpo Abbottabad said the two suspects had been arrested and that they were working on the interrogation.
In another case that involved sexual harassment last month, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Women, the professor of Safia Ahmad, constituted a research committee to investigate an harassment incident that supposedly occurred on the Bashkhali campus of the university team a few days ago.
Hazrat Bilal, the Vice -Rector’s public relations officer, said the eight -member committee was constituted after the students boycotted the classes and celebrated demonstrations against the security of the university team in charge of their alleged participation in the case of harassment.
