Case against indecent treatment of women at PTI's Lahore rally registered

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Case against indecent treatment of women at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) rally at Charing Cross has been registered, Dunya News reported Monday.
First Information Report (FIR) was launched under sections 394, 354 and others at Civil Lines Police Station. Culprits would soon be arrested after identification through CCTV footages.
Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said that PTI chief Imran Khan’s arrest is likely in the case in capacity of a facilitator.
Earlier on Sunday, scenes of previous public gatherings in the federal capital were repeated as chaos ensued after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s rally ended at Lahore’s Charing Cross. Even a separate enclosure for women could not curtail incidents of harassment during the public gathering.
According to the details, men had blocked the exit points reserved for women while incidents of misbehavior were observed.
Administration immediately sprung into action and normalized the situation before it spiraled out of control.
Several of the youngsters in the rally involved in hooliganism were thrashed as well in attempt to dispel the chaos.
Women were provided a safe passage under the watchful eye of the administration.
Prior to this, similar, even more serious incidents of harassment were observed at PTI’s rally that was earlier held in Islamabad. PTI chairman Imran Khan had apologised for these incidents.
