Dr. Omar Adil has reportedly been arrested over his obscene and defamatory remarks about TV anchor Gharidah Farooqi and other women working in the media.
Gharidah said in a social media post, “Despite being given an opportunity to publicly apologize through legal action, he did not do so. I commend all law enforcement agencies for acting on my complaint to protect women. I hope justice will be fully served and that those who commit crimes against women will face consequences, ensuring that women receive full protection in Pakistan.”
“Previously, Dr. Omar Adil and Zohaib Butt specifically mentioned my name (Gharidah Farooqi) and engaged in obscene and vulgar conversations on digital media, making false allegations against me and all women in the media. I have sent legal notices to both of them, and if they do not comply, further legal action will be taken. Additionally, I have filed a complaint against them with the FIA.”
According to reports, Adil talked against female anchors in Zohaib Butt’s podcast and the host and the guest specifically mentioned Gharidah Farooqi’s name and engaged in an obscene conversation on the digital media platform. Gharidah said that Adil and Butt levelled baseless allegations against her and other women working in the media.
