Assistant commissioner attacked in Mansehra ‘for being a female officer’

Three men attacked Assistant Commissioner Marvi Malik Sher near Ghazi Kot in Mansehra last week. The hooligans also attempted to assault the assistant commissioner by pulling her out of her vehicle, injuring both her and the guard. Some onlookers rescued them and handed the three men over to the police.

Zoha Malik, sister of Marvi Malik, has alleged that her sister was attacked because of her gender. “Some ruffians tried to attack my sister Marvi Malik Sher last evening for being a female officer. It’s the 21st century and women in leadership posts are still an anomaly to sick and prejudiced, patriarchy-ridden mindsets in our country,” Zoha Malik wrote in a tweet.

Marvi Malik is one of five sisters who have set a record for passing the CSS exam and joining the bureaucracy.
