A video circulating on social media shows a woman screaming as unnamed men attempt to take her to an undisclosed location in Dera Ghazi Khan. In the video, men who introduce themselves as officials of Darul Aman can be seen dragging her on Jam Pur road in Dera Ghazi Khan.
Citizens intervened and asked the men why they were forcing her into a rickshaw. The girl urged upon the people to help her and accused workers at Dar-ul-Aman of raping her. Police staff hailing from Thana Gadai’s area Khayaban-e-Sarwar dragged her back to Darul Aman.
The girl who is originally from Kohat, came to Dera Ghazi Khan 15 days ago.
After the incident, the High Court Bar Association’s Women Rights Committee Coordinator Sundus Rahim Advocate and Human Rights Committee’s Mirza Muhammad Idrees Khan strongly condemned the Darul Aman staff for negligence and demanded an investigation into the matter. They stressed that strict action will be taken against the responsible people.
Deputy Commissioner Ali Akbar Bhatti took an immediate notice of the incident and ordered a team to investigate the issue.
