KARACHI:

A video clip showing a reprehensible sexual harassment incident in Orangi Town has gone viral on social media, sending shockwaves among netizens.

The distressing incident took place on a deserted street, where a veiled young woman, draped in an abaya, walked with her bag nonchalantly slung over her right shoulder.

In the video, a motorcyclist approaches from behind, his face conspicuously revealed by the CCTV cameras, and brazenly strikes the girl's back with a reverse hand gesture as he passes in close proximity on the right side.

The shameless act came to the attention of local police through social media platforms, but no formal complaint has been lodged thus far. The incident reportedly occurred at around 9am on July 18. Authorities have requested anyone with pertinent information or who may have been witness to this reprehensible act to come forward.
