BENAZIRABAD: The harassment and torture victim Parveen Rind
recorded her statement at women police station in Shaheed Benazirabad on
Friday.
Ms Rind reached the office of Shaheed Benazirabad DIG Police Khadim Hussain
Rind along with her uncle Ali Nawaz Rind. She met the DIG and presented
evidence of her torture and harassment to him.
Then she went to the women police station and recorded her statement. In her
statement she said that she could recognize university female officials who
beat her up. The officials included: Atiqa, Farida Vigan and Fareen Dehri.
A few days ago, Ms Rind, a nursing house officer in Peoples University of
Medical and Health Sciences for Women in Nawabshah, uploaded a video on
social media alleging that she was beaten up and locked in the hostel room
by three officials of the university. They subjected her to torture because
she refused to accept their ‘unethical demands’, she further alleged.
Ms Rind also showed marks of torture on her arms in the video. She claimed
that these university officials had been harassing her since her first year
at the university. She alleged that the varsity officials tried to kill her
accusing them of killing other girls before, possibly referring to other
medical students who died mysterious in their hostel rooms of medical
colleges.
Taking notice of her video, the Sindh High Court chief justice took suo motu
notice of the incident on last Saturday and summoned DIG police Shaheed
Benazeerabad, deputy commissioner and university registrar on Tuesday before
the court.
Ms Rind appeared before the court on Tuesday and demanded justice. She said
she would remain barefoot until she got justice. -Agencies
