LAHORE:
A woman, through a video message that went viral on, hurled allegations of sexual abuse against the officers of the Punjab Prisons Department.
The woman hiding her face behind a veil and introducing herself to be an inmate in a jail in Lahore has alleged senior officers of the Prisons Department of committing sexual offences and exploitation against the female inmates. She said that they were forced to make the officers “happy”.
She blamed that during their shift to these offices at night, they were forced to indulge in immoral activities. She continued that many senior officers were involved in the practice and DIG Lahore Range Malik Mubashir was well aware of it.
The anonymous victim also alleged forced miscarriages of the female inmates.
She requested Prime Minister Imran Khan to take notice of the incident and provide them justice.
Spokesperson DIG Lahore Range, Mohsin termed the video false, baseless propaganda devoid of any sort of reality.
