Lahore woman seeks FIR against boys for using slurs while playing street cricket

Shazia Bibi says several neighbours had asked the boys to not use foul language

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Saturday sought comments from the Ravi Road SHO on a petition filed by a woman seeking a case against some boys for using derogatory language while playing cricket in the street.

Shazia Bibi submitted that several neighbours had asked the boys to not use foul language while playing in the street but they had not paid heed.

She said the SHO had been asked to take action against them but he had done nothing in this regard. She requested the court to direct the SHO to register an FIR against them.



In a separate incident, a woman has lodged a case with Shahdara police against her husband for allegedly trying to sell her to people running a prostitution business.

An additional district and sessions judge on Saturday sought comments from the Shahdara SHO on the petition of the woman, who claims her husband had been pressing her into sex work but she always refused.

She said he would beat her for refusing sex work. A few days ago, she said, she had fallen unconscious after he gave her a spiked drink.

She said when she came to senses she saw him negotiating a price for her with some people. She said she had slipped out and requested the relevant SHO to take action against her husband.
