Maryam shares bus conductor’s apology video after assault on woman

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Friday shared a video statement of a bus conductor who assaulted a woman passenger on public transport, in which he admitted his mistake and promised not to repeat such behaviour.

The conductor, identified as Ali Rizwan, recorded the statement while holding his ears as a gesture of apology and acknowledged that he had mistreated the woman.

He also pledged not to behave similarly towards anyone in the future.

The development followed Maryam Nawaz’s earlier intervention over an incident in which a transport company employee pushed a woman while she was boarding a bus.

In a post on X, the chief minister had said dismissing the employee from service would not be enough and directed that he should apologise to the affected woman in front of others.

She also called for the employee to be taken to the woman’s home to apologise publicly and said she would speak to the district police officer about the matter.
