HARIPUR: A resident of Taxila has appealed to the Haripur police for justice, alleging brutal domestic violence by her husband and inaction by Khanpur police. According to sources, the complainant alleged that police negligence and delays by the Jandal police post have deprived her of justice for over a month and separated her from her infant child.
Complaint Details
In her complaint to the District Police Officer (DPO), she stated that she married Haseeb Ahmed in October 2022. The couple has a son and a daughter. She alleged that shortly after marriage, her husband, whom she described as addicted to alcohol and drugs, began verbally and physically abusing her.
Escalation of Abuse
She claimed the abuse reached its peak on May 4 and 5 when her husband allegedly assaulted her while intoxicated, attempted to strangle her, threatened to kill her and eventually threw her out of the house after severe violence. She further alleged that he forcibly took the children away from her.
Police Negligence Alleged
The woman said she approached Khanpur police and Jandal police post in-charge Zahid Khan for legal action, but no effective steps were taken. She alleged that police reluctance to proceed against the accused has left her separated from her infant daughter, causing severe emotional and physical distress.
Appeal for Justice
The complainant requested the DPO to take strict notice of the alleged negligence of Khanpur police and Zahid Khan and to ensure legal action against her husband.
