Pakistan Woman Stripped
Pakistan: Woman stripped in DI Khan to pay for husband’s alleged love affair
Dera Ismail Khan: Three men allegedly stripped a woman in Dera Ismail Khan district of Pakistan to avenge her husband’s alleged liaison with their sister, an episode exposing the atrocities on women in the country.
The brazen incident took place on June 6 when the victim, “F”, was returning from a wedding ceremony. Armed men intercepted her, assaulted her in a “revenge attack” and fled, leaving the woman naked in the middle of a street full of onlookers, reports The Express Tribune.
A local resident told The Express Tribune that the attack was carried out after rumours of the alleged affair between the victim’s husband, Imdad Hussain, and the sister of the accused “spread like a wildfire in the village enraging the girl’s family”.
Locals claimed police were initially not willing to register an FIR into the incident.
However, an FIR was later registered under Section 354 of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) with no mention of stripping.
“The woman had not been stripped but her clothes were torn apart by the accused who managed to escape and even threatened her of dire consequences,” SDPO Saddar Muhammad Adnan told The Express Tribune.
