Woman Pleads for Justice at Press Club, Accuses Ex-Husband and Police of Harassment and Forced Eviction
Naushehro Feroze, September 17, 2025 — A distraught woman, Anita Aisha, arrived at the local press club today carrying a copy of the Holy Qur’an and tearfully appealed to the media and law-enforcement authorities for protection and justice. Anita accused her former husband — identified as a police officer, Allah Bakhsh — along with other local actors, of harassing her and forcing her and two relatives from family land, and said that repeated police interference has left her desperate and without any support.
Speaking in public, Anita described a sequence of events that she says began after her marriage ended three years ago. “Three years ago he gave me a divorce,” she told reporters. “After that, he remained living with his sons and Laila in Tharro Shah, and they expelled us from the house. Now they accuse us of killing Asad Amin and say the place belongs to them.” Anita said she, her sister and another relative — named Laili and Sikandar in her account — were taken to the local police station one night after being told to vacate the property. She alleged that at the station she and her relatives were pressured and blamed for crimes they did not commit.
Anita claimed that local police repeatedly harass them and have made normal life impossible. She described the family plot as belonging to her father, and said she had offered to cede the disputed parcel to avoid further conflict — but she asked, “If we give them the land, where will we go? We have no safeguard, no support.” In an emotional appeal she warned that unless immediate action is taken she and her relatives may take extreme measures, including self-immolation, and laid responsibility for any such action at the feet of the police and her ex-husband.
Her public appeal singled out senior local officials for intervention. “We appeal to the SSP Naushehro Feroze and other responsible authorities to provide justice to us immediately,” she told reporters. She further implored members of the public and civil society to raise their voices on her family’s behalf.
Allegations, Fear, and a Plea for Protection
Anita’s allegations combine domestic-law issues (divorce, property and family disputes) with serious claims about police conduct. She says the family has been repeatedly victimised since the end of her marriage and that police action has intensified the sense of vulnerability. The fact that her former husband is employed in the police heightens her concern about impartiality and access to redress.
At the press club she visibly held a copy of the Qur’an and wept as she recounted the events — a dramatic visual meant to underline the depth of her distress and the moral seriousness of her plea. Her readiness to make a public appeal reflects the breakdown of private remedies and the urgency she feels in finding an official response.
What the Law Provides (General Observations)
Under Pakistani law, family property disputes, allegations of illegal eviction, and claims of police misconduct may be taken up through separate channels: civil suits for property and ejectment; criminal complaints where threats, coercion, or unlawful detention are alleged; and internal police oversight or judicial remedies for misconduct by law officers. Victims of harassment may file complaints with local magistrates, police oversight bodies, or human rights commissions, and may request protection orders from courts where personal safety is at risk.
Anita’s public appeal to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) is in keeping with a common practice: when local policing is perceived as biased, victims seek higher authorities and public visibility to compel action.
Calls for Investigation and Humane Response
Local journalists who witnessed Anita’s appeal urged the relevant authorities to register her statement and to ensure immediate protective measures are provided, including police protection that is demonstrably independent of any accused officers. Legal aid groups and women’s rights organisations often stress that women in Anita’s position require safe shelter, legal counsel, and swift investigation so that accusations are objectively examined and retaliation is prevented.
Civil-society activists who follow such cases note that when disputes combine family property claims and allegations against people within the police, thorough external oversight and transparency are essential. Prompt inquiry by a neutral team — ideally involving higher-rank officers, district legal authorities, or provincial oversight mechanisms — can help ensure that evidence is preserved, complainants are protected, and justice is seen to be done.
What Comes Next
Anita has asked for immediate intervention by the SSP and other relevant authorities. Her announcement of potential self-harm, should nothing change, raises the stakes and means authorities have a pressing duty to act quickly to de-escalate conflict and secure the safety of all involved.
For now, the matter remains a public plea: Anita has placed her account before the media and called on both police leadership and civic actors to respond. How quickly and transparently officials investigate her allegations, and whether protective and legal measures are put in place, will largely determine whether her appeal leads to a peaceful resolution or further tragedy.
