CCPO Lahore Again Blames Motorway Victim For Her Rape As Culprit Walks Free

via https://youtu.be/XvqKWsswPuo Lahore’s Capital City Police Officer Umar Sheikh, who just recently issued an apology for blaming the victim of the Lahore motorway gang-rape, on Monday again blamed the woman. On Monday, the committee summoned Sheikh to provide a briefing on the progress of the case that sparked outrage across the country as well as exposed the lack of security on a key route. He said that the incident took place because the victim “was traveling late at night without her husband’s permission”. In addition to this, when the members of the committee asked if the victim had said this in her statement, the unapologetic CCPO said that it was his assumption. Amid the investigation and manhunt of rapists, CCPO Sheikh cast blame on the victim for reportedly traveling at night through the desolated highway. The CCPO irked the human rights panel Reportedly, he said that he was told that the victim had left late at night because ‘she had to talk to her husband on video call’. The committee members said that providing security to citizens was the job of the State, regardless of the time and reason behind traveling. Sheikh misquotes the main accused’s name Is the main suspect Abid or Babar? — A committee member You are investigating this case and you don’t know the name of the main suspect. Moreover, the members of the panel told the CCPO not to misguide the committee.
