Two women were reportedly injured in an alleged domestic violence incident in Rawalpindi, while concerns have been raised over delays in police action.
RAWALPINDI: Two women, a wife and her mother, were allegedly assaulted by a man identified as Waqas following a domestic dispute within the jurisdiction of Naseerabad Police Station in Rawalpindi. A video purportedly showing the incident has also surfaced.
According to sources, Waqas allegedly subjected his wife and mother-in-law to physical violence, leaving both women injured. The incident has raised concerns among the affected family, particularly over the reported delay in the registration of a police case.
The family reportedly approached the police after the alleged assault and sought legal action against the suspect. However, they have expressed serious concern over the alleged delay in registering a case and have called for action against those responsible.
The incident has also drawn attention to the protection of women against domestic violence and the responsibility of law enforcement agencies to respond promptly to complaints involving alleged physical abuse.
The matter has raised questions about the police response within the jurisdiction of Naseerabad Police Station, particularly whether the authorities have initiated the necessary legal proceedings following the family’s complaint.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has repeatedly been associated with commitments to women’s protection and access to justice. The reported incident has therefore renewed questions about the implementation of those commitments at the local level.
The affected family is seeking action against the alleged perpetrator and a response from the police over the reported delay in registering the case.
It remains unclear from the available information whether a formal case has since been registered, whether the suspect has been arrested or what position the police have taken regarding the allegations.
The incident highlights the importance of timely police intervention and appropriate legal proceedings in cases involving alleged domestic violence. Further details from the police are awaited.
