Notice to SHO on sexual harassment plea against cricketer

LAHORE: Additional District and Sessions Judge Nauman Muhammad Naeem on Monday issued a notice to the Naseerabad station house officer (SHO) on a petition filed by a woman seeking registration of a criminal case against Pakistan national cricket team captain Babar Azam.

Hamiza Mukhtar, the petitioner, through her counsel, contended that she filed an application with the SHO concerned and the capital city police officer (CCPO) as well for the registration of an FIR against Mr Azam on charges of sexual harassment and fraud.

However, she said the police did not entertain her application. The judge sought a reply from the SHO by Dec 5.

A couple of days ago, the woman had also held a press conference where she leveled serious allegations against the national cricketer.
