KHANEWAL: An 18-year old girl has died, and her aunt seriously injured, after an incident of attempted rape on Monday.
The aunt and her niece were kidnapped by unknown individuals and taken to a private clinic in the city's Block 5 area.
"Unknown people had kidnapped the girl and her aunt, and had taken them to a two-floor private clinic," said Khanewal's District Police Officer Jahanzaib Nazir Khan.
"The suspects tried to rape the women, and in order to save themselves, both jumped from the second floor," added Khan.
The girl's aunt was admitted to District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ) for treatment, while the girl was declared dead on arrival, and her body was sent for postmortem.
Law-enforcement officials have started an investigation and have sealed the clinic.
Earlier in May, a married woman was set ablaze after she foiled an alleged rape bid in Muzaffargarh.
Police quoting the victim said an unidentified suspect tried to rape her when she was asleep in the afternoon.
On resistance, he sprinkled oil on her, set the woman ablaze and managed his escape.
She was referred to Nishtar Hospital, Multan, from DHQ Hospital. Doctors said the woman suffered 30 per cent burns.

One of the reasons of such incidents is vulgarity showing on media. I urge and request government to ban such programs and shows that lead people lure toward such crime.

Why is it that some "scholars" CII, seem to put the burden on women to change habits? Why are women blamed? Why not educate and in cases of non compliance punish the aggressors? In India, Uber made its drivers go through a women's sensitivity training. Which we all know what that means. Isn't it shameful that were government has failed, private corporations have to play the role? I reckon the same will be the case for polio. Where PK is pretty much the only county in the world incapable of eradicating a century old yet treatable disease. I suppose as long as there are metro buses all is well

@Adil Habeeb Another major reason is because people like you exist and they are allowed to procreate. I urge you keep away from TV, internet, magazines as it will ignite the rape desires in your body and will result in more rapes/murders in society.
Or maybe you can learn to respect women irrespective how they dress.

Justice delayed is justice denied. But Justice is literally sleeping and Mullahs are also silent. Rapists are walking free and receive no punishment in Islamic republic of Pakistan.

@Philosopher (from Japan) ... society is not sick only handful of people are. Society can't be judged by few people here and there. Rape occurs every where in the world including civilized countries. Laws needs to be strict and practical so incidents like will not happen again. Since you claimed to be Philosopher then do you have an idea to overcome problem like this ??????

Rape has been going on with or without vulgarity on TV. If its not the TV, people can look it up on the Internet or get hard copies of vulgar content. Rape is a psychological problem. It has nothing to do with just getting sexual gratification. If it was just about sexual gratification then these same animals would go to a whorehouse to fulfill their base desires. The act of rape is about forcing what you want and attaining power over the victim.
The only way to solve this problem is strict policing and even stricter adjudication of cases. Islam allows for death penalty for rapists, this should be enforced very strictly.

This is not the first incident, we see such incidents one after another in our society in our daily life. Different peoples are suggestion different measures to over come such crimes, those measures may be effective but one thing we should keep in our mind that our criminals in our society are not only bad but they are very bad so our law and the law enforcement agencies should be very bad for the criminals as well. Until and unless these criminals are given exemplary punishments this social problem can not be solved. If our civil government has failed to give justice to the people then they should give chance to other people. Police know very well where the incident took place but we don't see any news about any arrest of any criminal. very sad. People don't want anything else, at least give them justice.

It is the excess availability of pornographic material that is driving people into desperate acts of violence against women. If it remained unchecked in countries like India and Pakistan, women will not be safe in any place.
Government in Pakistan has entirely ignored the fact that this is a close society and outburst coming from constant unemployment and mass distribution of pornography, will one day bring down the entire society.

What a shame. Our Country is in all sorts of mess. No sense of direction, conviction or clarity. There is no Governance, application of laws, justice or security. The Government has failed miserably in its fundamental duty and responsibility to provide a decent life for its citizens, control law & order, employment, education, health, energy and equality for all. The womenfolk constitute more than 50% of the population in Pakistan. They need to be supported, encouraged and educated. An educated mother builds the foundation for a better family, community and society. I live in the UAE and here the women move freely without any let or hindrance, even at night. The State provides them this sense of safety and security through impartial and consistent application of laws. In Pakistan, we need to do the same and make this crime punishable with strict and rigorous imprisonment of the cuplrit, without recourse to bail or escape and regardless of their standing, status or position in society.
