ISLAMABAD: Hours after criticism from all quarters, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced that party chief Imran Khan has expelled Farooq Bandial- a rape convict- from party, ARY News reported.
Social media had erupted in outrage and disbelief after Farooq Bandial, a man involved in 1979 rape of renowned actress Shabnam, met Imran Khan and joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Farooq Bandial, who was convicted by a military court in 1979 in the rape and robbery case at then popular actress Shabnam Ghosh’s house, met Imran Khan in Khushab district of Punjab province and announced to join PTI.
Bandial, along with his friends, was sentenced to death but his death sentence was later changed to life sentence after his family reportedly pressurized Shabnam to ‘forgive’ him.
The actress later left the country and is now living in Bangladesh.
Social media users heavily criticised PTI’s decision to welcome him to the party.
Farooq Bandial the prime culprit in actress Shabnam Ji’s gang rape case in Zia regime has joined PTI. The entire gang was given death sentence, but they pressurized family for pardon. After Irfanullah Marwat, it’s Farooq Bandial. @PTIofficial mainstreaming rapists! pic.twitter.com/95tDmW8KNF

One shame followed by bigger shame. #FarooqBandial a convicted rapist, ordered to die, given clemency by dictator Zia joins #PTI. Zia committed judicial murder of SZAB just 6 months before this clemency. Zia had spared Bandyal gang as requested by S. M. Zafar. #ShamefulPTI pic.twitter.com/nied20HmaJ

Farooq Bandial was convicted in Shabnam rape case. I was in school then but I still remember that horrific case where she was raped in front of her family.
Shabnam was a national icon, loved by millions.
