Punjab Information Minister Reveals Workplace Abuse Incident Before Murder

LAHORE: Punjab’s Information Minister Azma Bukhari disclosed that Wasim Abbas fled his workplace following an incident of mistreatment on October 19, just days before a tragic murder in Multan.

Bukhari made the revelation via a statement on X, emphasizing the need for accountability in workplace environments. She noted that the incident involving Abbas raises serious concerns about employee safety and the culture of harassment that persists in various sectors.

This incident highlights broader issues of workplace abuse in Pakistan, where many individuals face harassment without adequate protection or recourse.
