GILGIT: A burqa-clad man taking an examination illegally under his wife’s name at a testing centre at Gilgit was arrested by police, witnesses told The Express Tribune on Tuesday.
The incident occurred at an examination centre for women constables.
Eyewitnesses said that the veiled man left his seat and attempted to run away when a female police constable supervising the examinations approached him to check his identity. However, male police officials who had cordoned off the area immediately caught him and detained him for investigation.
“He was sitting amid dozens of veiled women taking tests,” said a witness, adding that his 'dubious' acts while taking the test led to his arrest.

The above repulsive photo represent the modern state of Suppression-istan, armed force of men guarding their "Objects of lust" at gun point!
Is there a problem for banning burkas for those taking exams.They cant wear burkas if successful to be constables.
You know,literacy rate of woman in Pakistan is only 10%......It is a better way to enhance the literary rate of this folk...I liked it.Dr Huma
Welcome to Pakistan, where people the word shame does not exist.
It seems like now after lal mosque incidence. Mullah Aziz did it to save his life, this guy did to help wife. Is this fair for a MAN ? off couse not. This may lead to seriour legislation on burka, as France and other countries did.
i just endorse the comments passed by Nirmal singh..Burqa is not a symbol of islam,,being a muslim its more important to have good deeds and acts..rather having evil deeds in burqa etc...so they r not representing the real spirit of islam................we have also seen people use to use burqa to get escaped from law enforcement agencies..is past ...
lollll... unbelievable!
Yes,when these candidates become constables,they will be wearing uniform & not burka.Then why are they wearing burkas while taking exam for becoming constables.This intrigues me.If burka is being worn as religious symbol,one does not change one's religion on becoming a constable.
@nirmal singh maunder: Female candidates were wearing burka, not lady constable. For your information, they have proper uniform.
Dont they check his roll no slip before exam here in pindi men or women they check the slips before exam
These ladies are going to be cops yet wearing burqa at exam.How are they going to function as constables wearing burkas.
The only way perhaps for the man to get close with so many women!
@Cynical: You are onto something here. What would happen if a non Muslim were doing this? Burqa should be banned for positive identification in all the Western countries. Too many criminals have been using face masks to commit crimes. This one is caught, how many get away with their crimes?
Reminds me of Indian film "Chaudveen Ka chaand" in which Johney walker puts on the Burqa and goes around searching for Waheeda Rahman. In another Raj Kapoor film a young boy in Burqa makes fun of Raj Kapoor... Burqa has been a great source of entertainment like I can see from the comments to this thread.
Women should not be allowed to cover their faces while wearing burqa or having chaddar. It is a great security risk these days. Instead mullahs be asked to cover their horrible looking faces.
It is a personal choice and individual right (for woman or man) to wear burqa.
A ban on Burqa should be imposed in Pakistan.
Great love story of 21st century wonderfull man ...
Of all the places to cross-dress and cheat...a women's constable examination center!
Things we do for love :)
A man wearing a Burqa! Is it blashphemy? Just wondering!
France banned face covers to stop criminals who may otherwise use it to restrict their identification.
He must be a follower of Moulna AzizWomen blame men for their unfaithfulness, look how far can a man go for a woman.
Pakistanis love taking risks. she could have studied and attempted exam.
I have read the latest release of 101 advantages of wearing burkha....this one was missing from it;
The things you have to do for wives ...
No wonder France has put ban on Burqa...
When the mullah escaped from Lal Masjid in burqa, why a common man cannot use it for his wife's benefit. The multipurpose burqa is a must for every Pakistani whether male or female.
