| [DAWN] The Sindh High Court chief justice directed the police on Monday to provide protection to a rape victim and her family in Kunri, Umerkot district. Chief Justice Ahmed Ali M. Sheikh had taken a suo motu ...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard... notice of the alleged rape of the woman, belonging to the Hindu community, by a man from an influential family last month, and ordered action against the culprit and sought a report from the police. Umerkot superintendent of police Usman Ijaz Bajwa submitted a report before the SHC on Monday saying that the deputy inspector general of police (Mirpurkhas) had constituted a committee under his supervision. The committee included the sub-divisional police officer of Kunri and the Nabisar SHO to conduct fair and impartial investigations into the incident. The report said the FIR of the incident was registered at the Nabisar cop shoppe under Section 376 (punishment for rape) of the Pakistain Penal Code and the suspect was jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... It further said that the medical examination of the victim, daughter of a farmer, was conducted at the Kunri taluka hospital and samples for a DNA test were also collected. It added that medical reports confirmed that the victim was subjected to a sexual assault and the investigation was under way. The SP also informed the SHC that a show-cause notice had also been issued to the SHO concerned. The chief justice directed the Mirpurkhas DIG and the Umerkot SP to provide security to the victim and her family. |
