The curse is becoming too rampant in the absence of deterring actions of the Government.

CCPO Lahore is responsible for giving rapists a green signal that there is an open season on women

It is now both important that the camera system in the city needs to be beefed up. Secondly the services like Airlift be made available for working women to minimize the risk of such incidents.

Travelling in a Vigo
We all know who travels in Vigos
The nation should forget it. Even if the police get hold of the culprits, they will eventually walk free

Sir this is a heinous crime undoubtedly. However I live in Paris, France. 4 rapes are reported daily here and many many more go unreported (15 to 30 a day according to official estimates). They however make no headlines. Why is it so much highlighted in Pakistan?

Clifton and DHA areas are filled with people with big cars who after consuming alcohol go after the young men and women of the area. Most of these people are in areas around Bilawal Chowrangi or DHAs Ittehad road. Why people are quiet is understandable due to the status of those people.

Was she carried to culprit’s apartment or they took her there on gun point. There would be some distance in the parking lot and the apartment and I would imagine there would be other people as it was only 09:30 PM.

There is sufficient evidence of police involvement in all crimes, and unless government is serious about resolving this curse, the decline in moral values will continue!

There is no discussion on media on this case. Looks like plan to bury the case is in progress. I have all my reasons to believe that some Feudals supported by Bilwal house are behind it.
