PML-N leader said that the CCPO should be sacked for blaming the victim for the incident
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday has demanded the incumbent government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to fire Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Umar Sheikh over his controversial statement regarding motorway gang rape incident.
While talking to media, the PML-N leader said that the CCPO should be sacked for blaming the victim for the incident just to hide their own incompetence. CCPO Umar Sheikh had stated that the victim was taking Pakistan as France, she expressed anger.
The reaction came after CCPO blamed the victim of leaving the house at midnight and taking Motorway route instead of GT Road without adequate fuel.
“The woman called her brother instead of police and her brother telephoned the motorway police at 130 to send a police mobile,” he told.
On the other hand, despite passage of three days, the security personnel have failed to arrest the suspects involved in the incident.
The concerned authorities have shortlisted over 70 people with criminal records and their location at the time of the incident is also being monitored. Detectives have also been hired for the inspection of footprints collected from the crime scene.
In a statement, Inspector General of Punjab (IG) Inam Ghani told that traditional and advance techniques are being used to investigate the case. Suspicious points have been mark around 5 kilometers from the incident site, he went on to say.
