Woman confronts harasser on bus to Islamabad; video goes viral

Woman was on her seat when she realised that the tingling on her back was a man trying to force himself on her

Entertainment Desk September 26, 2019

A video of a woman slapping a man who sexually harassed her on a bus from Multan to Islamabad has gone viral.

The video that was initially made public by a Facebook user Zahra Nain, shows an elderly man apologising while the woman in the video accuses him of "constantly touching her back." According to the Facebook post, the woman initially didn't realise that someone was touching her due to the 'tingling feel' she is used to getting on her back because of a herniated disc. It was after someone tried to take off her dupatta that she felt a force on her body that she figured out that he was allegedly molesting her.

As soon as the video went public, several other platforms also shared it, condemning the elderly man who harassed her and lauding the woman for taking charge of the situation.

Social media has been on fire since then:

These criminals should no longer be allowed to hide behind their beards and false piety.

This lecherous old man tried assaulting and groped a woman on the Multan to Islamabad bus.

Shocked that the other men are protecting this uncle. They should have also slapped him. pic.twitter.com/GCEX5GjPXB

Naeem khan | 2 years ago | Reply Might be a staged drama directed by khooni liberals against the bearded men.It was all recorded at proper time to post the clip.How ever slapping him and forcing him to apologize is illegal.if she was molested she must had reported to police to take action not to decide and execute on her own.what is difference between her and a terrorist.

Zaheer | 2 years ago | Reply What a brave woman and what an idiot disguised as an honorable person with white trimmed beard and white clothes. Beware of wolves like him in sheep skin.

Zak | 3 years ago | Reply Lusty bearded man behaving badly got what he deserved from a brave pakistani lady. Well done.

Ishfahan | 3 years ago | Reply Similar fake incident was reported in India. Involving two girls who used to pull these stunts for publicity they usually started fights and then filmed them for internet publicity.

Farhan | 3 years ago | Reply Let it take its due course and the story from the other side too to conclude any thing on this story. Allah knows best. The male in question does not look like what he is exposed as in the video though.

Margaret white | 3 years ago | Reply Time women in these countries stand up for themselves against these dirty old men no respect for women

Ali | 3 years ago | Reply The bearded guy was guilty as charged as he said nothing in his own defence and also apologized so no point in supporting him. Harrassment of ladies across the country are increasing which is really bad.

Ramay | 3 years ago | Reply The lady is very aggressive using extremly abusive language man is absolutely defensive an offender is not that defensive matter is complicated seems to be religious bias remember 60 premature deaths of men in 50ties is cause of women in the society due to abnormal offensive behaviour wife vs inlaws disputes.

Usman | 3 years ago | Reply I will have sympathies for this old man till the time i will not witness any evidence of his act of harassment.

Talha | 5 years ago | Reply She has deleted the video from her timeline and answer is very simple that act of her was only to get some cheap publicity and in my opinion that gentle man was actually a victim and its propaganda against religious looking man by a feminist activists. Please brothers and sisters be careful because of beard there is a lot character assassination done in past as well and this time again it was a swear attempt i suppose . Not every time a women is right and that 45 sec clip is not an evidence to assassinate some one's character we don't even know about the other side of the story. ALLAH knows batter .

Mohsin | 5 years ago | Reply He might have touched by accident. He was about to explain himself when the lady started abusing and slapping. He is clearly shocked by what is happening. It is impossible that he tried to grab her with force and tried to take off her dupatta in presence of so many people. no one supported most probably because they didn't see anything otherwise we know people never miss any chance to let out there anger. Hope to see some legal case instead of social media stunts. We heard only one side of the story. Let us hear the man's explanation and what other passengers say. Shouldn't judge by a 40 seconds video that only had abuses and slaps.

Mohsin | 5 years ago | Reply I cannot pass any judgement without listening to the accused and other witnesses and neither should any one else. instead of saying he harassed her, you should have written "allegedly harassed". social media is no place to pass verdicts. hope they go to court and we get a proper news on what are the facts. things are often misleading

Mohsin | 5 years ago | Reply What is wrong in asking other side of the story? Why are all of us so sure that the man did this? He clearly was trying to explain himself before the lady gone all crazy abusing and slapping him who must be her father's age. he look stunned by what is happening as any decent man would. no one is supporting the women mind you in the bus and we are all very sure just by watching 40 seconds clip with the only 1 side of the story. i have seen incidents happen in front of me where such small touch happen by accident and ladies start shouting and creating scene. it is the best way nowadays to get cheap publicity.

Hajra | 5 years ago | Reply This old guy works at Pakistan Post DG Office as Director PLI. Muraad Saeed Sb, should take notice of this.

Hajra | 5 years ago | Reply This old guy (Mr. Hafiz Shakeel) works in Pakistan Post DG Office as Director PLI. Murad Saeed Sb should take notice of it.

Asim Khan | 5 years ago | Reply It is extremely shameful that a man with a beard doing such actions. Someone with a beard has a greater responsibility on himself as he represents our religion showing that he is a more pious man. Unforfortunely, such people do not understand our deen or social responsibilty or anything for that matter and are litterally, thieves, criminals, etc who are behind there beards. It was very good that the lady slapped him in public. Such people should be made an example in public so other do not dare to do such things.

Ali | 5 years ago | Reply Actually it's the silence of ladies who encourage these buggers. Such phenomenal responses are required for these mentally illed individuals. Keep it up sister Proud of u

Bunny Rabbit | 5 years ago | Reply Wow I admire her guts .

Asif Naqvi | 5 years ago | Reply Brilliant response - thumbs up!!!!

imtiaz Hydari | 5 years ago | Reply Great response lady, but a slap should not have been the end. The man should have been handed over to the police and an FIR lodged!
