The new governor in his explanation the officer was angry because “a man [not a woman] had administered his wife’s Covid-19 vaccine”.
The officer’s anger is in line with Islamic rules, which states that opposite sexes who are not immediate family members should not touch one another.
Quizzed on how the perpetrator gained entrance to the venue, Khorram said there obviously was lapse of security, saying officials will investigate that.
Khorram was commander of Revolutionary Guards in the same province until he was appointed governor.
