Nauman, the prime accused in a case involving the alleged torture of a domestic worker in Buffer Zone, has claimed that he has been falsely implicated and that the viral footage only shows a partial view of the incident, withholding the full context.
In a video statement making the rounds on social media, Nauman, a resident of Sector 15-B, Buffer Zone, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Gabol Town police station, further claims that if the complete video had been released, it would have revealed the true sequence of events. He insists that the edited clip misrepresents the situation, and only a portion of the incident was shared intentionally to damage his reputation.
Nauman alleges that the domestic worker, Yasmeen Bibi, was incited by a downstairs tenant, Mukhtiar. He claims that Mukhtiar had been pressuring him to vacate the house for some time and had a history of disputes with him, especially over water supply issues. According to Nauman, Mukhtiar played a key role in instigating Yasmeen against his family.

Nauman describes an incident on December 10, when he returned home from work and allegedly found Yasmeen holding his son by the mouth and physically beating him. “No father can tolerate seeing his child being tortured,” Nauman said.
In a fit of anger, he admitted to striking Yasmeen in an attempt to intervene and protect his son. However, he insists that the incident has been misrepresented, claiming that the partial release of the video led to a false narrative.
Nauman further states that during the altercation, Yasmeen also struck him, hitting his face and eye, and even biting him. He claims that Mukhtiar, instead of intervening, filmed the incident, which he asserts is clear evidence of a conspiracy against him.
Nauman and his wife have also alleged that Yasmeen had previously assaulted their son on two separate occasions.
According to Nauman, after the incident, he and his wife went to the Gabol Town police station to report the matter. However, they claim that the police refused to register a case against Yasmeen, stating that no case could be filed against a woman. Police allegedly acknowledged that Nauman had made a mistake by assaulting Yasmeen but did not take further action on the matter.
In his video, Nauman repeatedly admits to his wrongdoing and expresses regret for his actions, but he also claims that Yasmeen’s side demanded money in exchange for withdrawing the complaint, a demand he refused to meet.
On December 13, Yasmeen Bibi lodged an FIR against Nauman at the Gabol Town police station, accusing him of assault. The incident has sparked public interest, with both parties presenting conflicting versions of the events, and the investigation is ongoing.
