| Pak police force couple to parade naked over adultery charges |
GAMBAT Police have arrested a man and two women in the interior Sindh town of Gambat and have charged them with “intentions of adultery,” BBC Urdu reported on Saturday.
Curiously, the law-enforcers took it upon themselves to register a police case and also decided to act as witnesses to the said “crime.”
Reportedly, a video clip is doing the rounds among locals, where the man and one of the women charged by police are shown being paraded naked and are trying to put their clothes back on but are forced against it by police officials.
When the local SHO was contacted by BBC Urdu, he agreed to give an official statement on the case but was later unavailable to make comments. Meanwhile, Deputy Superintendent Police Sagheer Mughairi said he was unaware of the incident and suggested the media to contact the local police station for further information. According to the case registered by the police, officials were informed by a “local spy” that a man called ‘Mumtaz’ had invited two women over for sexual favours.
However, as opposed to the police statement, it is believed that several eye-witnesses were present at the site and reportedly saw the police force a naked man and a woman on to the streets. While parading the couple through the streets, the police also went past ‘Sheikh Chowk,’ which is half a kilometre away from the site of the incident.
According to the police, Mumtaz Hussain Mir Bahar is a local trader, who managed to seek a bail from a local court.
