Omair Rana Sexual harassment scandal Ali Zafar

The recent sexual harassment scandal emerging from Lahore Grammar School (LGS) has left many offenders ducking for cover. Among them is actor and theater director Omair Rana who has been accused by several schoolchildren of sexual misconduct.

Once testimonies from the students of the “prestigious” private school started pouring in late last week, names of four male members of the faculty began doing rounds on social media. This was followed by a tirade of accounts naming and shaming the school’s former drama instructor and actor, Omair Rana.

While Rana was accused of making inappropriate advances towards female students, his wife, Maira Omair Rana who holds an administrative position at LGS 1A1 was accused of slut-shaming those adolescents who had previously come forward with complains against her husband.

And while Omair Rana is the latest celebrity to be named in a sexual harassment scandal, others before him have also been at the receiving end of the #MeToo wave in Pakistan.
