ISLAMABAD: Police booked on Tuesday JUI-F Senator Hafiz Hamdullah for threatening and trying to assault rights activist Marvi Sirmed in a TV talk show on June 10.

Hamdullah, Marvi Sirmed as well as Barrister Masroor and PTI’s Fayyazul Hassan Chohan were guests on a TV show to discuss recent honour killing incidents when the incident took place.

Marvi Sirmed asks police to book JUI-F senator

On Tuesday, police booked the senator under sections 506 (criminal intimidation) and 354 (assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of the Pakistan Penal Code.

Inspector Iftikhar Chattha, investigation officer in the case, said the FIR had been lodged. Asked whether police would arrest the senator, Chattha said police could book a lawmaker, but needed permission of the National Assembly speaker or the Senate chairman, as the case maybe, to arrest one.

Mansoor Gul | 8 years ago | Reply This is disgrace for the nation Pakistan, hence proved that there is no Law & Order for woman in depth. People of Pakistan should concentrate on development. This is the high time. A nation can only develop while they provide women liberity.
Barry Richard | 8 years ago | Reply This animal who has been made Senator by Mulana Diesal should be booked and arrested for his abusive foul language against a woman.I dont know how he can be made a senator when he has no manner to sit in a meeting or talk.He should be de seated from Senate and black listed for any government post or work..
