Reports said that the Federal Ombudsman Secretariat for Protection against Harassment of Women at Work Place was moved against the alleged harassment.
As per the complainant, the ambassador directed her to travel with him to places unrelated to her job.
The complaint said the ambassador called the complainant to his office and relayed to her that he understands the nature and plight of being a single woman and invited her to visit him in his room anytime if she wishes to. As per the complaint, Riaz told her that he is single and divorced and shared with her his divorce story.
However, the complainant was sexually harassed time and again and the working environment was made hostile.
The complainant also accused Riaz of trying to get in uncomfortable proximity with the complainant while showing official presentations.
The commercial attache said after such humiliating and hostile working environment, she sent a number of complaints to the Ministry of Commerce from May 2017 to June 2018.
The official said she filed complaints before the departmental authorities, but to no avail and the issue remained unresolved.

Taking notice of the complaint, Federal Ombudsman Secretariat has written a letter to the Foreign Affairs secretary to investigate the matter and report back immediately.
The matter is currently sub-judice with the Ombudsman. While the commerce division is responding to the ombudsman, the Foreign Office did not report the matter to the women harassment department.
This lady is chronic bachelor and mentally disturbed person. She fights with his colleagues and is notorious character in TDAP circles. Every one in TDAP and Commerce Ministry know her and no one wants to speak out to avoid the very bullshit she is doing with this Ambassador. She misuses this woman card to hide her mental diseases and her over dependence on blackmailing. I am not sure about the veracity of these allegations against ambassador but this lady is known for erratic track record and is a mentally disturbed soul. To level all kinds of allegations against others is her hobby. All her victims must speak out and come forward for the sake of truth, don’t afraid of losing your Govt jobs.
Who are you?
How you know this information?
What I have said above is an open secret. Off course people won’t say it to your face for obvious reasons. You should take care of your mental health instead of leveling false allegations against others ( though I am not sure about the health of these allegations against ambassador). This is my sincere advice. Leveling false allegations against others will not help your cause. It is like practicing piano and hoping to get better at golf.
I did not take legal course against you despite having very solid substance as women in this country get undue favor from our broken legal system and can play harassment card at will. But I left it to my God for what you have done to me in the past. I did not believe in karma before reading this above news about you – now I do.
