In the complaint, journalist Aqsa Khalid alleged that a colleague, identified as Adeel, began harassing and threatening her after their engagement ended. She stated in the FIR that the relationship was called off after her family concluded that the man “was not of good character.

According to the FIR, the situation escalated on February 26 when the accused allegedly came to her office and confronted the journalist. Aqsa Khalid stated that he misbehaved with her and physically manhandled her despite repeated requests that he leave her alone. She told police that the incident left her mentally distressed and fearful about her safety at work.
Following the confrontation, the journalist contacted the police helpline (15). Police officers reportedly arrived at the scene and attempted to call the accused multiple times, but he did not respond to their calls.
