Pakistani actor Uzma Khan says ‘assaulted by realtor’s daughters, gunmen’; video is viral

In her police complaint, the actor said, “I have been shamed, blackmailed, harassed, been threatened to kill in past 3 days. I have nothing to lose now and I have decided to fight the strongest people of Pakistan. For me it is either I get justice or I will be killed but there is no turning back now. I will fight against daughters (Amber Malik and Pashmina Malik) of Malik Riaz who stormed into my house with 12 gunmen.

“I request Punjab police to register my FIR and conduct my and my sister’s Medical examination (my basic right) before our wounds start to heal. I hope I am as much Pakistani as Malik Riaz,” she said.

This is my official statement – Remember your gunmen pointed their guns towards two orphans and sexually harassed. We might be weak but now we have faith in Allah and people of Pakistan. I request you to share my statement and standby me in my difficult times. #uzmakhan pic.twitter.com/0QNgBUlTRb

Malik Riaz, however, has rubbished these allegations, saying he is not related to Usman and called it an attempt to malign him. “I categorically rebut this malicious propaganda associating me with a viral video. Usman is not my nephew. I’m appalled at such below the belt attempt to malign me for something I’m not involved in any capacity,” he tweeted.

“I would also like to inform that I’ll be filing defamation cases against anyone who tries to implicate me wrongfully for such disgraceful incidents,” he added.

Replying to Riaz, Hassaan Niazi, Uzma Khan’s legal counsel in the case, said, “As usual and like all other matters, you are again lying. Your daughters led the criminal act accompanied with at least a dozen of paid goons. And cut this threatening tone, don’t threat the people of Pakistan with your money and connections. No one is above the law.”

Meanwhile, people defended the actor on Twitter, asking why only the woman should take the blame of an extramarital affair while the man’s name is suppressed due to his alleged connections.

Here are some of the top tweets

Tell Me One Thing Please:

Why is everyone jumping on this girl #UzmaKhan only ? Is the man not to be blamed equally ?

Why is a woman called a home wrecker when the man is cheating on his woman and wrecking his home equally.

Why not shame him as well. Why only the woman ?

Patriarchy makes women turn on each other. #UzmaKhan is one case, but we see this everyday where women are blamed for tempting other men or ‘ruining’ their own husbands. Men are treated as innocent fools with no control of their libidos & women are seen as manipulative shrews.

In an interview, Malik Riaz’s wife said, my daughters, didn’t need any education. We have everything to fulfil our basic needs. So we just married them in a teenage. After this incidentof #UzmaKhan she should realize, everyone needs education. Maybe if she https://t.co/L4PuPKUB3D
