Pakistan: Society & Values.


GUJRANWALA: In the Kamonke police station chowki, near Gujranwala, three women who were forced to perform a ‘mujra’ by a police official moved the court to take action against the cops involved.
The women said that the police officials had forced them to remove their clothes and dance all night. The police allegedly also stole Rs 200,000 and mobile phone from the girls after they had returned from a wedding that same night.
In their application to the district and session judge, the three women said that Kamonke police sub inspector Munawar Shaheed Abid Farooq and constables’ Muhammad Shahid, Sajid and Muhammad Usman arrested them when they were returning from Riyasat’s wedding in the area and took them to a police chowki.
The police officials then forced the women to remove their clothes and dance to the song ‘Munni badnaam hui darling tere lie’ all night. When they refused they were tortured and the police threatened to nominate them in fake cases and also registered a case against them in the Saddar police station.

.................

I find this headline highly derogatory and inappropriate to the matter. Such a serious matter should not be put in a “spicy” way. What is the point in using terms “Dancing Girls” and ” munni badnam Hui” here…..perhaps women sexual harassment has become a norm in our Land of Pure…..now no one give a dam about it……Tribune should know that its not a “Tabloid” or smthing….its serious business…..

dear reporter please also illustrate by which case police has charged them with!!

police threatened to nominate them in fake cases and also registered a case against them in the Saddar police station.

this story is raising questions for critics that it might be a fire back on police when they were arrested. please give complete image.

.What the hell is wrong with you guys!! Will you remove that disgusting headline already??

Dear Editor,

First and foremost, your report lacks everything a good report MUST have.
The title says” Dancing girls move court to take action against cops” but you do not mention anywhere that these were dancing girls. And even if they were dancing girls I do not think that they should be treated with such indignity and forced to face such humiliation.
Shame on the men who take advantage of their positions on people who cannot fight for themselves.
And shame on you for putting this humiliating episode in a Tabloid manner.

thank you.

I fully agree with Umer Farooq that these news have been reported in inappropriate manner by Express News and Express Tribune. When these news were first aired on Express News, the song “Munni Badnaam Hui” was played in background, the news anchor read the headline in spicy way and the visuals only contained video of these three victim women sitting in park. Whoever the women were, a crime was committed against them and the Express News should have presented the news in such a way that sympathies are given to them. At least the visual should be about those “criminal” policemen or the police station building where this crime took place

Well who is the suspect , and for which crime. Girls because they danced or the police!
