Here is how the public reacted to the incident:
I’ve never seen men actively campaign for anything the way they are to get the Faysal Bank video taken down.
You don’t fool us. You don’t care about the victim’s safety. You want to keep the harasser safe.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHERE IS THIS ENERGY WHEN WOMEN’S NUDES GO VIRAL!?

Faysal Bank recently imposed a dress code for its women employees.
So a while ago the very same faysal bank imposed a dress code for its women employees? In chu*iya mardoun ko kab rassi daalo ge?

Faysal bank management want their female employees to wear abaya to protect them from harassment, might as well cut their male employees hands as they cant keep their hands to themselves.

I’m going to slap everyone of you who’s gonna ask why didn’t the girl harassed by Faysal Bank’s manager react.
Focus on WHY and HOW and AUDACITY of the guy doing it.
