Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Friday took suo moto notice of the rape and torture of a six-year-old girl in Karachi, Radio Pakistan reported.
The CJP directed the Sindh inspector general of police, AD Khawaja, to submit a report on the incident within 48 hours.
Unidentified suspects raped the girl and later tried to kill her, police and hospital officials said, but the child ─ who was found in a drain in the Ibrahim Hyderi police limits Thursday evening ─ survived.
They added that the girl was found injured on the Malir riverbed near Korangi Crossing. Her throat and a hand bore stab wounds.
The girl was initially taken to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, which referred her to the Civil Hospital Karachi, where her medical examination was carried out by a lady doctor, said senior medico-legal officer (MLO) Dr Mubarak Pathan.
Quoting the report, the MLO said she was raped and later the suspect(s) tried to kill her as her throat was slit, added the doctor.
She was referred to the trauma centre, where she was being operated upon.
Ibrahim Hyderi police officer Mohammad Juman told Dawn that when the girl came to, she identified herself and also told the name of her father to the police.
She told the police that she studies in a school in Korangi.
The officer said that it appeared that she was kidnapped and later subjected to criminal assault before being thrown into the drain.

@ISHTIAQ Why Nawaz government only?
Sindh government is directly responsible for not conducting its responsibility for which they took oath when they held the power.
We have high expectations from current Chief Minister who seems to be interested in doing a good job but when you are encircled by corrupt, opportunist, and incompetent people, doing ones job becomes very difficult.

@ADNAN MAZHER khan Good point raised. Religious parties are also responsible for this situation. They have not done anything to raise awareness and education among people about why society is going to abysmal moral standards. They have no solution in their hands. In my opinion they are the worst of all. Their objective is nothing but win few seats and then amass as much money as possible through blackmailing other inside ways in parliament.

As an ordinary citizen of Pakistan, I am deeply disturbed by these events barricading the Government from doing even the basic of its functions. All efforts, time and resources are being diverted and spent on Panama papers as if the whole society would change overnight and Paradise would descend on us after Panama Papers confirm the wrong done by the helmsmen. Are we all angels and only the executive head is the single man root cause of every evil?

This CJ I am so pleased to note has got his antenna up and is using his authority to provide justice to the most vulnerable in society. Its unfortunate though that the police are too slow witted to act . The culprits must be captured, investigated and punished without mercy. Unless this is done soon , no one is going to have any confidence in the law enforcement agencies and will take justice into their own hands.

Is the Pakistani Supreme Court is the only body to take notice of all the atrocities and crimes?
What about the Karachi or Sindh Police?
Sindh Governor and Chief Minister, or the Law Minister?
Where's the attorney General?
What about Sindh High Court?
I've never seen such indifference and missing-in-action officials and law-enforcement agencies in the World.

Rampant pedophilia and homosexuality in Pakistan fed by a culture of tacit approval of such behavior. This requires social reform, mass media awareness campaigns and brutal punishment for these bestial crimes. Another factor is the huge quantity of pornography consumed in Pakistan. A clampdown on the internet and blue movie distributors is not enough. No child less than 18 should own a mobile phone. We should have police and CID task forces hunting for pedophiles. This is sickening.

Long live CJP Justice Mian Saqib Nisar took notice about the poor girl raped and almost killed in Karachi. Earlier you took cognizance of maid Tayyaba case as well. To me now people will be afraid to commit any crime fearing that they might be caught by CJP. We are definitely ver fortunate to have such a wonderful CJP. May I suggest, if not annoying, that other high ranking judicial officers should also take suo moto actions alike. Iqbal Hadi Zaidi / Kuwait / zaidi.formerdiplomat@hotmail.com

Honorable Chief Justice, since it is a "Suo Moto Notice Case", I would request most earnestly and emphatically to please hold the Area Police and the Political Party of the Area responsible for such gruesome acts taking place within their jurisdiction.
Let me assure you that, no one would even dare to imagine let alone think of commit such a heinous crime without the backing of either or both.
Thank you.
