The owner of Islamabad’s one of the most renowned private schools has allegedly with held the results of his ex-wife’s daughters.
According to details, Sohail Zarar Khan, owner of Froebel’s network of schools, has allegedly denied his ex-wife, Laleen Sukhera, a renowned author and consultant, from obtaining report cards and other information about her three daughters studying at Froebel’s F-7 branch.
Laleen recently took to Twitter to share her ordeal, alleging that the management of Froebel’s F-7 has denied helping her despite multiple requests over the past month and a half. She has also lodged a complaint with the Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (PEIRA). In the complaint, Laleel has accused Froebel’s F-7 of obstructing her access to her daughters’ report cards at the behest of the owner.
Speaking in this regard, Laleen’s advocate, Muhammad Aqib, has said that it is the right of every parent to receive adequate information from schools regarding their children. Laleen has claimed that many fathers, specifically influential ones, continue to harass and torture their former and current wives and children. As a result, Pakistan has been listed at the second position in the latest Global Gender Gap Index. The country is in dire need of reforms as well as better implementation of existing laws.
Sohail owns Froebel’s network of schools along with his mother and two brothers. Laleen also alleged that Sohail was previously arrested for “kidnapping his daughters” from Laleen.
Sohail also tried to list his son under Laleen’s name in NADRA records with the aim to subdue her through more litigation, she alleged. Sohail’s current wife gave birth to his son two years after Laleen divorced him.
