Will justice be served?

A Gujranwala assistant sub-inspector (ASI) was arrested after a video of him assaulting a woman went viral. ASI Akbar Ali’s viral fame led to the Chief Minister of Punjab taking notice of the issue. He was ultimately arrested by law enforcement authorities.

When the video of ASI Akbar Ali went viral, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Usman Buzdar took notice of the video and sought a report from the Gujranwala regional police officer (RPO).

Usman Buzdar ordered for departmental proceedings to be initiated against the policeman in accordance with the law.

This led to a first information report (FIR) to be lodged against Gujranwala ASI, Akbar Ali at the Saddar police station, and Akbar Ali was arrested.

According to ARY News, the Punjab Chief Minister stressed the need to respect women. He said the government can’t permit anybody to torture women. He also issued directives to provide justice to the assault victim.

Trigger warning: In the viral video, ASI Akbar Ali can be seen slapped a young woman, as bystanders do nothing to intervene. He then grabs her by the arm and drags her away.

Aside from ensuring that Akbar Ali is convicted for his crimes, the safety of the victim must be ensured.

Observers allege that when the Gujranwala ASI is released from prison on bail or after serving his sentence, there might be repercussions for the female victim. It is hoped that the authorities are vigilant regarding this possibility.
