Later the actor took to social media to explain the situation regarding the incident. He stated;
“I did everything I could do to protect the safety and wellbeing of women. I reached out to the police, DHA and all those who could take measures to ensure her safety. Today, the authorities and I talked to her, and she mentioned that Im happy with my husband, and I have no issues whatsoever. Kindly terminate the case because it’s a matter of my respect.”
He then added;
“I refrained from posting personal details regarding both husband and wife because the situation is critical and should be addressed carefully. I did everything I could do to try and manage the situation.”
He then pleaded with the public to notice the alarming rise in domestic violence cases. “If you see someone in help, kindly move forward and help them as much as you since our parents and religions teach us to do so.”
Amidst the alarming situation, the domestic violence bill presented by Shiren Mazari has not been passed as of yet. Meanwhile, it’s high time that authorities take some measures to ensure the safety and well-being of women in our society.
