In a recent development, Ayesha Jahanzeb, a well-known TV anchor, has accused her husband, Haris, of domestic violence. Following her complaint, Lahore Police arrested Haris after registering a case at Sarwar Road Police Station, as reported by Dawn News.
Ayesha Jahanzeb alleged that she suffered multiple incidents of violence at the hands of her husband this year. Despite her efforts to preserve their marriage, she claimed that the recurring violence led to serious injuries, prompting her to seek legal redress. Adding to the complexity of the situation, Ayesha disclosed that Haris had secretly entered into another marriage, which she discovered amid ongoing domestic disputes.
The case has attracted significant attention, prompting Chief Minister Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, to intervene. She demanded a detailed report from the Inspector General of Punjab Police and assured that Ayesha Jahanzeb would receive the best possible medical care. Maryam Nawaz emphasized her stance against violence, stating, Women are my red line, no violence against domestic or working women will be tolerated.
The backdrop to this incident includes Ayesha’s struggles and her relationship history. She was widowed at a young age when her first husband, Ayesha Jahanzeb, passed away. Ayesha and Jahanzeb had shared a lifelong bond, growing up together. After his death, her mother, who was later diagnosed with cancer, urged Ayesha to remarry despite her initial reluctance.
Eventually, Ayesha Jahanzeb married Haris, her only male friend. She has often spoken highly of Haris, crediting him with supporting her career and personal growth.
This incident has sparked a broader conversation about domestic violence and the challenges faced by public figures in their personal lives. The case continues to unfold as legal proceedings against Haris progress and more details are expected to emerge.
