Following his dismissal he fled from Kasur and went to reside in Pak Pattan. The suspect was picked up five days earlier on the orders of the District Police Officer.

While Imran has reportedly confessed to the crime, according to Geo News the confirmation will be given in this regard after a DNA report is received.

It is further said that the suspect had shaved off his beard in order to avoid arrest.

Given the public’s sentiments over the entire case, some demanded that the suspect be immediately punished

 

It is understandable that public anger is at its highest and there is strong reaction toward the very powerful conversation on sexual abuse that has started from this very unfortunate case, however, public hangings and mob mentality is something that needs to be controlled in order to maintain a decorum and any remaining sense of civility.
