Sex for Visa at Pakistan High Commission? Indian woman says so
The woman said she booked an appointment for her visa application at the Pakistan High Commission for her visit to Lahore. A staff member started asking her inappropriate questions
A female Indian professor accused two officials of the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi of sexual harassment when she went there to apply for a visa.
She told News18 how back in March 2022, she was harassed by Pakistani officials named Tahir Abbas and Asif. They asked her lewd questions and sought sex for visa, she claimed.
The woman said she booked an appointment for her visa application at the Pakistan High Commission for her visit to Lahore. A staff member started asking her inappropriate questions.
‘Spend a night with us & get visa within 24 hours’
The woman’s harrowing experience did not end at the high commission. She told News18 that the two officials sent her texts on WhatsApp and asked her to come to Pakistan where they would pay for her stay.
“They even called me and said I would get a visa within 24 hours if I spent the night with them,” she said.
She added that she gathered the chats and evidence and raised a complaint with the Pakistan High Commission but no action has been taken. The woman also said that she cannot file a police complaint as the officials enjoy diplomatic immunity.
According to exclusive details accessed by News18, the woman is a senior professor and head of a department at a university.
She alleged that she had booked an online visa appointment with the Pakistan High Commission.
When asked about the purpose of her visit to Lahore, she told the official, “I wish to visit Lahore to photograph the monuments and write on them and also visit a university where I was invited to deliver a lecture.”
When she was about to leave, another staffer arrived and started asking her personal questions, which made her uncomfortable.
She said, “He asked me why I wasn’t married; how do I live without marriage? What do I do for my sexual desires?” She claimed the official persisted with his questions despite her attempts to change the topic.
