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

Nauman describes an incident on December 10 when he returned home from work and allegedly found Yasmeen holding her son by the mouth and physically beating him. “No father can tolerate seeing his child being tortured,” Nauman said.
In a fit of rage, he admitted to hitting Yasmeen in an attempt to intervene and protect his son. However, he insists the incident has been misrepresented, claiming the partial release of the video led to a false narrative.
Nauman further states that during the argument, Yasmeen also hit him, punched his face and eye and even bit him. He claims that instead of intervening, Mukhtiar filmed the incident, which he claims 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. The police reportedly acknowledged that Nauman had made a mistake in assaulting Yasmeen, but took no further action in the matter.
In his video, Nauman repeatedly admits 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 filed an FIR against Nauman at the Gabol Town police station, accusing him of assault. The incident has attracted public interest, with both sides presenting conflicting versions of the events, and the investigation is ongoing.
