Three Islamabad cops suspended for harassing female colleagues

ISLAMABAD: Three officials of Islamabad Police have been suspended for harassing female officers in police lines.

Earlier on Monday, female police officers and constables of Islamabad Police sought the help of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar to save their lot from sexual abuse at the hands of operators and readers of police high-ups.

The letter also claimed that the female police officers have photos and videos where DSP (Headquarters) and operators and readers are sexually abusing their female colleagues. “We’ll WhatsApp the pictures and videos exclusively to the CJP. It is requested that you give us justice and rid our department of these black sheep,” the letter said.

The women police officers and constables also demanded that a lady reader should be deputed to avoid such situations.

“Whenever we have an appointment with a DSP or SSP, we get offers from operators and readers that if we go to a certain room, we’ll be exonerated without inquiry. The readers and operators have their rooms where these predators have pried upon our colleagues,” the letter added.

Following the complaint, the IG ordered an investigation which found the three officials were involved in harassing the female officers. “Further investigations into the matter are underway,” the Islamabad IG said.
