In a recent development, Ali Noor, who was accused of sexual harassment by Ayesha Binte Rashid, just denied all allegations against him.
When rape or sexual harassment cases are reported two things happen: diverted reporting and attrition. However, Ayesha Binte Rashid took a bold step and tried to confront Noor, but many people are still unaware of who Rashid is?
Ayesha Binte Rashid
Hailing from Islamabad, Ayesha Binte Rashid is a journalist. She accused Ali Noor, who’s been the lead vocalist for a band for Noori, as a ‘womanizer and predator’ but also of sexual harassment.
What happened?
Ayesha accused the singer in a series of Instagram posts where she shared screenshots of her conversations between her and Ali Noor. On Friday night, Ayesha personally messaged him, before making it a public conference. She wrote, “You emotionally manipulated me and what happened in the back of my car while driving to the airport was sexual harassment.

“You’re a sexual harasser and a predator,” she went on to say that she does not wish to publicly come forward with the accusations because she respects Noor’s brother Ali Hamza, as well as drummer Kami Paul, who has been associated with the band Noori.
She also claimed that she’s been threatened to sabotage her friendship with Paul. But she came clean and already shared her story to Kami and parted ways. She has ‘no interest in having people in her life who fraternize with harassers’. Ayesha further said, “[You have a] God complex who is all talk yet doesn’t have the proactiveness to break out of his toxic patterns.”
Ali Noor’s response
It was Saturday noon when Ali Noor responded to Rashid’s allegations and shared her message too. According to him, it’s an eye-opener for him.
Noor took this matter to his personal Instagram account where he addressed the whole situation in a letter that he dedicated to his grandmother, where he claimed that Ayesha did not share all of his replies.
Noori said, “Today, I put the teaser and release date of the video and the son but as I was doing that, I got a message from newspapers that I have been accused of #MeToo by Ayesha Binte and my screenshots and apologies have been put up. She didn’t put all of them and that’s sad.”
He goes on to add, “I even suggested I should be hanged and executed publicly. She simply wasn’t taking me seriously. Anyway, I am so glad she finally put it out.”
“Oh man, I am completely devastated. I am hating myself, you are right and sometimes one needs a mirror to see. I couldn’t agree more. I swear as I read this I don’t want to live. I am truly your culprit and I am willing to pay any punishment.
“All I can say is that my life has taken a turn that I never could imagine and your message is truly a sign from God for me to see my truth. And yes, I am paying a very very hefty price for my ego, my God complex… I have never been this miserable and yes you are right my inability to change myself is dawning as true reality.”
Posting two stories on his Instagram post with a hashtag of #stopmocheryofmetoo, the singer wrote, “I am no sexual abuser.”
In one of his stories, he has apparently posted a picture of his own grave with a caption: “Ayesha Binte I am done being concerned about you. I sent you an apology for putting my entire life at stake and you have the audacity to not accept my heartfelt words.”
“I deny all allegations of sexual harassment against me I never admitted to them to start with. I was already not in a good place. Now I am gathering the courage to move on to the next word. I have absolutely no guilt. I hope you finally find your solace and an answer for my children,” he concluded.
In another story, he clearly claimed that he is not a sexual abuser.
“To the few left that still loves me… Remember I am no sexual abuser. Also, remember.. every human being matters wishing better life for everybody,” he posted this on his story.
