Asian Human Rights Commission calls for action against CM, daughter and son-in-law for torture of bakery employee
The employee, who was thrown outside the bakery after torture, received serious injuries including one that has affected his ability to pass urine
CM’s daughter is famous as the ‘lady gangster’, has also beaten up Ayesha Ahad, Hamza Shahbaz’s former wife
Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) on Tuesday called on the public to take action against Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and his daughter Rabia Imran over a video of alleged torture of a bakery worker that was leaked online several days ago.
On October 7 at around noon, Mrs Rabia Imran, the ‘lady gangster’ and the daughter of the chief minister of Punjab, visited the Sweet Tooth Bakery in T Block Market, Defence and asked for a cake. The shop was closed and a helper boy was inside cleaning it. Rabia’s driver and guard kept knocking at the door and were finally able to convince the helper to let them in. The boy named Irfan told Rabia that he could not help her since he was just a sweeper and he did not have the permission to sell cakes.
Waving her phone and her finger at him, Rabia got angry and told him that she knew ‘how to deal with’ people like him. She also told him that she was the daughter of Shahbaz Sharif, the incumbent chief minister of the province, and she could do anything.
Some employees of the shop reached the scene and asked her to visit after 3pm when the bakery opened. Rabia became angrier and asked her guard and her driver to ‘take care of them’.
The men who accompanied her came in and abused Irfan, also threatening to kill him for ‘talking too much’.
At around 6:30pm, two private guards, members of the police ‘Elite Force’ and Rabia’s husband, Imran, came to the bakery. It must be mentioned here that the Elite Force’s job is to conduct police encounters, not to escort VVIPs. The video clip then shows Imran slapping Irfan and a police guard pushing the bakery owner to a side. The private guards and the police force members also kick the boy around before finally kidnapping him and taking him to an undisclosed location. Irfan was then thrown outside the bakery in serious condition. His body showed signs of severe torture and the internal injuries that he received because of the kicks have reportedly affected his ability to pass urine.
It must be remembered Rabia Imran was also involved in beating up Ayesha Ahad, the former wife of her brother, Hamza Shahbaz. So far, no case has been filed against her or against her husband for abusing Irfan.
After the issue was raised by the social media and by Pakistan Today, cases were registered against the private guards and the members of Elite Force. The CM, in his Facebook status, said that he had taken action as soon as he was informed of the incident and since he was abroad, he did not know what had transpired. The CM’s daughter and his son-in-law, however, still roam free amongst our midst.
Sources have claimed that the electronic media was “deliberately trying to push the issue under the rug” because of the ‘untiring’ efforts of the CM Secretariat and Public Relations director general. There are also reports of crime programmes from famous TV stations suppressing interviews with Irfan and the bakery owner after receiving the cue from the CM.
Pakistan Today could not reach the bakery owner, Irfan, Defence SHO and others despite repeated attempts. Officials of the CM Secretariat said the CM had ‘taken action’ and avoided answering questions about the demands being made for the arrest of the CM’s daughter and her husband.
In a statement on their website, AHRC appealed to the public to take action against the chief minister by writing the letters to authorities calling on them to arrest and prosecute the daughter and son-in-law of the CM. The AHRC also urged the authorities to take strong action against the policemen involved in the case and also prosecute the station head officer of the Defence police station for not performing his duty according to law and refusing to file a case against the perpetrators. The AHRC also added that it is writing a separate letter to the UN Special Rapporteur on the question of torture calling for his intervention into this matter.
lakh di lanat hun v PML(N), PML(N) karan waloun ty
maa da phudda pml n karan walyo
Mr. Showbaz will take action. By the way who is Imram?
put her behind the bars with 50 policemen and dont tell the policemen that she is the daughter of khadim-e-aala. Then see justice being delivered!
aur do vote kanjaroun ko
bandar ky haat main machis do gy to jungle ko aag to lagy gi na 😛
& Yet AgainPeople will them & bring them into power, why they r complaing
Arrogance is part of our society, culture. , Sain tu Sain, mera naukar bhi Sain, this is the latest song going around in Sindh. We have 180 Million people, who have not gone through the process of civilization. Baluchistan, Frontier and Sindh may be worse than Punjab where Ghairat and ego is above everything. This sweeper hurt Rabia's ego, after all no body dare refuse her anything, she is the CM daughter. The "C" in this case stands for Cheap and not Chief as portrayed by Imran (SIL). Viva Sharif's, at least Zardari's kids are into something else.
yeh tu khuli ferooniat ha, thas called system which suites pml-n, and ppp,
why they should change it,
its mind set , looking they like pakistani Elite is king or crown and we are their slaves
Like father like daughter!! If you watch the video she is also poking her finger like her father. This family is killing people with their fingers. Anyway this gangster lady will never regret or apologise and CM will force poor people to withdraw their FIR against them. Happy ending.
Thug culture of thug family! family politics is a curse that Pakistanis need to get rid! Please dont vote family cartels who has become mafias. Do you really think they are so interested in serving you people? or just power hungary and serving only family and cronies. Just check how many leaders in PMLN – PMLQ PPP etc are actually related to eachother, you all will get the story behind this drama of demorcatic parties! Eg Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Hamza Sharif, Maryam Safdar and her husband, Ishaq Dar, Sher Ali, Sohail Zia , they are relatives Same goes of PMLQ(A ch, B Ch, C Chaudray) PPP(a Bhutto, B bhutto, A-ZBhutto), and JUI(Diesel and family! ANP(Wali khan and bilour family)
Thats only leadership, dig deep and you find only relatives and group of cronies. THIS ARE NOT DEMOCRATIC PARTIES! DONT VOTE REJECT THEM
This is common practice in Pakistan or any other Muslim state where law prevails only on poor and weak groups.In few days you will see that sweeper will go for press conference where he will pardon all who misbehaved with him or even surrender his apology that because of his attitude that first lady of Punjab felt embarrassment in front of Pakistani public.This ruling class knows how to set the price of opponents. This is the way we mock the laws which are only applied on unerprivilged class .
If Rabia had looked at herself in the mirror, she would have realized that she had no business eating cake anyway. She is already fat. I bet her husband rolls her in flour to find the wet spot 🙂
Rabia Imran, the daughter of Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Shahbaz Shraif, can be seen on recent CCTV footage becoming annoyed at finding a bakery closed after arriving there at noon. Rabia’s driver somehow manages to open the door after which a worker present in the shop tells her that the shop will open at 3 pm. Rabia is seen starting a verbal fight and pointing a finger at the worker, insisting on purchasing the bakery items. She then proceeds to leave with her driver and guard but, at around 6:30 pm, three people come to the shop with the police, identify the worker and escort him outside shop and beat him up badly. Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry should take suo motu notice of this condemnable act by Rabia Imran.
Oh plaaease! CJ soya hoa hai…us ko disturb na karain..wo PPP ke khilaf case sun sun ke thuk gia hai…!
This matter needs urgent attention of CJ. This is brutal act of violence against an innocent bakery worker. The Royals of Raiwind should resign immediately. The end of the story is "the sharifs have not learned ay lesson during 8 years" and they do'nt want to learn at all. The big sharif will remain silent on this Zulm which is equal to supporting ZULUM. Wake up house of Raiwind to adhere the democratic tradions practised around the globe. Otherwise " theree dastaan tak na hi gi dastaanouN mien"
Aima Khosa ji, thank you for running this story and exposing the real face of rule of law.
long live PML (N), you guys are bunch of candy asses
