[Dawn] A woman police officer of the city has accused two men of accosting her near Westridge late Wednesday night in an attempt to kidnap her.In her complaint filed with the Race Course cop shoppe on Thursday, SHO Bushra Batool alleged that the two men, one of whom claimed to be her husband, in a white-colour car blocked her car while she was on her way home around 11:30 pm with her brother.
Unable to move, she said she locked her car and refused to roll down the window at their demand. Angry, the two attacked her car and smashed its windscreen and tried to kidnap her.
Ms Batool, who heads the only Women Police Station in Rawalpindi, identified one of the alleged stalkers as Sardar Shafqat Hussain, who claims to be her husband. She said she would recognise his accomplice too in an identification parade.
"Sardar Shafqat Hussain wanted to kidnap me. They beat up my brother and threatened me with dire consequences," she said. Race Course police booked Sardar Shafqat Hussain on the criminal charges pressed by Ms Batool.
According to police sources, Sardar Shafqat already had filed a complaint against her with Regional Police Officer (RPO) Rawalpindi claiming that she had been living with him for the last four years under `Mutaa` (temporary marriage) arrangement. He claimed he had given her over Rs2.5 million and a large quantity of gold which she had not returned him.
Despite repeated efforts, SHO Bushra was not available for comments. Race Course police said no arrests had been made yet.
Sardar Shafqat Hussain`s complaint against her has meanwhile been sent to CPO office for further proceeding.
