I could never understand why such crimes are more in the Punjab area wether it is Delhi or central punjab in Pakistan. Somebody needs to do study and come up with reasons and remedy.

@khan & Khan you do know the same happens in other parts of the country, either it is not reported or if woman is left alive she does not come forward due to shame and other societal pressures. It is a narrow mindset to think these barbaric acts occur only in the Punjab.

@KHAN ....there are two other sets of education, one receives.
One is at home by parents and the second in the masjid, to follow religion in practical ways in ones daily activities.
If these three educational exposure is followed, one can't go wrong.

@Shahbaz Khan, I am sorry if hurts anybody's feelings. I am not a narrow minded person. I love Punjab and Pujabis as much as I love other ethnic groups. Its not that nothing is happening in other parts of India and Pakistan but just think back and recall some recent incidents majority happened in Punjab areas.

Unfortunately rapes and other such heinous crimes take place in all societies. Which is very sad and all steps should be taken to punish the culprits. The issue in Pakistan is NO ONE CARES. The authorities and police will take action only if the victim is well connected or if they can make money......

we made FIR as huge task while its just First Information Report of the crime. focused should be on get the culprit convicted with solid evidence in this case, witnesses and DNA could play undeniable evidence. You will be surprised our "21st century" courts dont accept DNA and videos as evidence! when DNA of culprit is found on victims body, he should be convicted of crime.

our society is molded to its very core. Things like these has nothing to do with terrorism or sectarian violence which in a bigger picture is our problem and issue. One of the big reason why these kinds of crime prevail in our society is due to lack of justice of our judiciary, our easily corrupted police system, lack of religious and civic education, lack of protection of women and minority rights.
