KARACHI \u2013 The Sindh Provincial Ombudsman on Thursday ordered the removal of K-Electric Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Moonis Alvi from his post and imposed a fine of Rs2.5 million after finding him guilty of workplace harassment.<\/p>\n

The verdict held that Alvi was found to have harassed and mentally distressed the complainant, Mahreen Zehra, a former Chief Marketing Officer at K-Electric.<\/p>\n

The Ombudsman directed that the fine must be paid within one month.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>In case of non-compliance, the authorities have been instructed to confiscate Alvi\u2019s movable and immovable assets, and block his national identity card and passport.<\/p>\n

The decision came after Mahreen Zehra filed a formal complaint, alleging that she was subjected to harassment during her professional association with the company.<\/p>\n

She had been engaged by K-Electric in 2019 as a consultant. The inquiry into the case was conducted by Justice (retd.) Shahnawaz Tariq.<\/p>\n

The Ombudsman ruled that the allegations against Alvi were substantiated and warranted strict disciplinary action.<\/p>\n

Moonis Alvi responds<\/b><\/p>\n

Reacting to the decision, Moonis Alvi issued a statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), expressing his disappointment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI have always upheld values of integrity and dignity in professional relationships. This decision is extremely painful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further stated, \u201cI respect the legal process and the institutions that safeguard it. However, the verdict does not reflect the reality of my experiences. I am currently reviewing the judgment with my legal counsel and intend to appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alvi also thanked all those who have extended support to him during this time.<\/p>\n
