Jamshed Ahmed Khan:
She was only 13 years old, at the age of thirteen, girls only imagine a future, a future which always gives them happiness and never gives them pain, in this age girls prefer to catch the colorful butterflies and to feel the fragrance of flowers!
She had the same feelings as discussed above, but she had not that much luck, she became the victim of men brutality, she kidnapped by a person who was known as less character man amongst the people of surrounding areas, and he is still known the same as before. After kidnapping her with all her innocence and took her to a secret place and raped her for many times, she was raped by 17 men and was happening for more than one week. Her father was searching her amongst few other family members during that time but she was nowhere to found. After 8 or 9 days she was found dead under the bridge of canal outside the village. The brutality of men was clearly visible on her dead body.
That was really a sad and shocking tragedy not only for her family but also for the others villagers. After the postmortem report, everyone knew that how wildly she was sexually used and killed. After getting the dead body, her father went to the police station to lodge FIR against the main culprit (Dabangy-his name) – but police was not ready to lodge the FIR against the main culprit, they were asking illogical questions to discourage their plan to Lodge the FIR,( police always help those who give them money). For 3 continues days, the victim family was nowhere near to get the legal rights. After a column of mine published in daily ”AAJ” Peshawar, the tragedy was highlighted on a high level and the authorities were bound to act. And they did that, the main culprits got arrested and after few days of police custody, he was sent to jail. (The remaining men who were involved threatened me for my published column against them, they did that for dozens of time, but I was pleased for that column which at least given a hope to the victim family for justice). The victim family was happy and expected to get justice. But the same thing happened as always, after spending one year in jail he (The culprit) released by the so-called Pakistan’s independent judiciary. He was supposed to punish but the judicial system of lower courts released him and now he is in action again. According to the local people, he is more aggressive and more determines for his worst and criminal activities. And the sequence of threats is started to me as well since last one and a half week. He has encouraged by the so-called justice system. Thirteen years old girl is no more in this world but her restless soul shall be more restless. No doubt that it is a shameful decision by the court to encourage someone like him (rapist).The people were expecting the arrests of remaining 16 rapists but instead of more arrests the main accused has released.
The rape of 13 years old victim was not the 1st and unique case, it’s happening rapidly across the country, and at the end majority of culprits gets the same reward of release. The more they release the culprits the more tragedies to happen.
