Domestic worker assault case: Accused Noman breaks silence, gives his account
Noman, the man accused of brutally assaulting a domestic worker in a case that sparked widespread outrage on social media, has broken his silence by releasing a video in which he presented his version of events.
In the video shared on his social media account, Noman claimed that the incident was deliberately misrepresented by his landlords, alleging that they wanted him to vacate the house so they could shift to the upper portion after their son’s marriage.
According to Noman, the incident actually took place on December 10, while the video that later went viral surfaced two to three days afterward. He alleged that relations between his wife and the landlord’s wife were strained, with frequent arguments taking place between them.
Noman further claimed that Yasmin, the landlord’s domestic worker, had been harassing his wife and son. He alleged that he contacted the landlord, Mukhtiyar, to complain that the maid had beaten his wife and used abusive language, but was told that the maid would not be removed and that he could “do whatever he wanted”.
Noman’s wife also appeared in the video and said that the viral footage circulating online was incomplete and selectively edited. She claimed that the domestic worker initiated the violence and that only a portion of the incident was shared publicly.
She alleged that when Noman arrived home, he saw the maid holding their son and went to speak to her, after which she allegedly attacked him. The couple claimed they later went to the police station, stating that Noman had been injured after being struck with a mobile phone and was bleeding, but police refused to register a case, saying both sides were involved and that no case could be filed against a woman.
The couple further alleged that they attempted to seek forgiveness, but the maid demanded money, which they said they were unable to pay. They also claimed that since the incident, they have been receiving threats and that their son is being harassed.
Noman admitted that he acted wrongly and said he had publicly apologised, acknowledging his mistake. The couple urged the public not to trust only one side of the story and requested help, stating that the matter should be judged after hearing all versions.
The case continues to draw strong reactions online, with calls for a transparent investigation to determine the facts and ensure accountability under the law.
