A top Pakistani bank’s employee who was caught on video groping a woman has been arrested and fired from his workplace, Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari confirmed on Sunday in an update to the Islamabad bank harassment case.
Mazari’s tweet came a few hours after a video went viral on social media wherein a man, identified as Usman Gohar and likely in his mid-30s, was caught red-handed on video sexually harassing a woman, groping her as she stood by his desk, and then taking his seat as if nothing happened.
Noting that the deputy commissioner of Islamabad, Muhammed Hamza Shafqaat, informed her of the bank employee’s arrest, the minister lauded the federal capital’s authorities, including the administration and the police, for “quick action”.
Prior to the federal minister’s post, DC Shafqaat had said Usman Gohar “cannot be hired by any other bank” as per the regulations of the State Bank of Pakistan.
