GUJRANWALA: In the Kamonke police station chowki, near Gujranwala, three women who were forced to perform a ‘mujra’ by a police official moved the court to take action against the cops involved.
The women said that the police officials had forced them to remove their clothes and dance all night. The police allegedly also stole Rs 200,000 and mobile phone from the girls after they had returned from a wedding that same night.
In their application to the district and session judge, the three women said that Kamonke police sub inspector Munawar Shaheed Abid Farooq and constables’ Muhammad Shahid, Sajid and Muhammad Usman arrested them when they were returning from Riyasat’s wedding in the area and took them to a police chowki.
The police officials then forced the women to remove their clothes and dance to the song ‘Munni badnaam hui darling tere lie’ all night. When they refused they were tortured and the police threatened to nominate them in fake cases and also registered a case against them in the Saddar police station.
