Female PIA employee slaps ASF official over alleged harassment

ASF claims she was stopped at entrance after her entry card expired

KARACHI: A video has emerged showing a woman slap an Airport Security Force [ASF] official at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.

According to sources, the woman identified as Ruqaiya Soomro, an employee in the HR department of Pakistan International Airline [PIA], allegedly reacted after she was harassed by the guard in plain-clothes.

Sources within the ASF, however, claim that Soomro was stopped by the guard at the entrance after her entry card was found to have expired.



Talking to The Express Tribune, PIA Spokesperson said the matter was currently under investigation. He said the details will be made public soon.

Last month, a video of Federal Investigation Agency [FIA] officials beating up two women at Benazir Bhutto International Airport Islamabad took social media by storm. It captured passengers and FIA officials fighting with each other.
