However, soon after, questions started pouring in about Dua Mangi and the circumstances of the whole incident
People were suspiciously concerned about “real” reasons behind the abduction and were eager to figure out the truth behind the abduction.

Thanks Allah that #DuaMangi finally returned home. Alhumdullilah she is ok but what is the main story behind a kidnapped of #DuaMangi. Which four men were they, What was the real reason for the abduction, Was the ransom or something????
A big question mark on these questions❓ pic.twitter.com/wNfipZQKos— Ehsan (@AzanAli70163355) December 7, 2019
There was concern about the kidnappers, as well
It is scary to even consider the fact that we live in a society where criminals roam around without having to face any consequences of their crimes whereas the victims remain scarred for the rest of their lives.
#DuaMangi has returned home safely Alhumdulillah. The kidnappers are still at large. Two kidnappings DHA in 6 months both times kidnappers weren't caught. The hunt for them must continue otherwise Godforbid one of our family members could be the next victims

Some ‘enlightened’ individuals thought best to form assumptions to satiate their curiosity
Painful reminders like these serve the purpose that no matter what, Some people will consider it their moral and formal responsibility to be a stick in the mud and be the living proof of the sick mentality that Larki me hi koi masla Hoga bhae!
why family of #DuaMangi is running from media now when she is back? everyone has a price when wrong has happened with your girl expose it to save others but seems like it was a matter of relationship and money between kidnapper & the girl.

Some people also came up with pieces of advice to prevent such occurrences
Self-defense should be a compulsory thing to be learned by everyone. Such learnings can come a long way in teaching women how to defend themselves while living in a society that cares, not one bit, for their safety. However, this is not a solution, this is only a temporary band-aid to the real problem – the education of men.
Every girl must learn the Art of Self Defense in Pakistan. It should become mandatory in schools.
Handling weapons
Martial Arts.Anything that can save them from getting kidnapped/harassed/ held at gunpoint.
Pls spread this message. 🙏@PTIofficial @PakPMO
