LAHORE: Punjab police on Monday helped a woman get Rs472,000 back from the brother of a police officer who was unwilling to pay pending rent and maintenance expenses.
The woman, in a video shared by the Punjab police on Twitter, said both parties had reached an agreement, and the person has paid the outstanding amount and agreed to withdraw the suit.
The woman, Ayesha Mazhar, a resident of Lahore, had explained her ordeal to Prime Minister Imran Khan yesterday, as the premier was taking live calls from citizens to hear about their issues and concerns.
The woman, talking to PM Imran Khan over the phone, had said SSP Zeeshan Asghar's brother, Imran Asghar, was not paying her the due amount, and police were not taking action as well.
A tweet from the Punjab police said Mazhar, back in December 2020, had lodged a complaint with the police about her tenant Imran Asghar, brother of SSP Zeeshan Asghar presently serving in Balochistan, regarding the illegal occupation of her house and non-payment of rent. "On the very next day, the house was vacated. However, the tenant did not pay her rent and damages to the house amounting to Rs 5,00,000," the tweet said.
