Salute the Chief Justice, Members of JIT and Media.
(Karamat Hussain Janjua, Islamabad)
Sir: To begin with, I salute
the worthy Chief Justice of Pakistan for taking suo-motu notice of the daughter
of the nation Zainab, so also the Members of the JIT and Media. Otherwise the
people in the helm of authority would not have taken the gruesome murder of the
innocent Zainab.
Being consistent with the law and practice of the Police being an Advocate, with
heavy heart , I am inclined to say that the Official in the Police Station
consisting of Moharar and Naib Moharar remain present in the police station and
Police Posts since morning to 8 PM. SHOs remain absent. After 8 P.M. to 10 P.M.
they usually come to Police Station. Sometimes SHOs and Additional SHOs do not
come to Police Station for days together. The matter of kid-napping etc. even
reported to the police they seldom take action. This fact can be adjudged from
the cases pending under Section 22-B Cr.P.C. before the learned Sessions Court
of the Province of Punjab and Islamabad Capital Territory. Parents of the
victims are pressurized not to get register such like cases. In Zainab cases
also it has come to light through media that the SHO concerned did not seriously
took timely action when reported to him. This lethargic behavior of the SHO
(Station House Officer) also speaks volumes in whose Police Station as many as
twelve incidents had already taken place. In seven earlier cases DNA has matched
with the accused namely Imran Ali son of Arshad , a person living within radius
of 100 feet from Zainab House. Where was the Punjab Police when as many as
similarly placed and similarly victims innocent girls commencing from 2015 and
culminating in the gruesome murder of innocent Zainab. What were secret agencies
and MUKHBAR doing during this period of more than three years. Salute to Dr.
Muhammad Ashraf of Punjab Forensic Lab but nobody provided him samples of the
prior victims daughters of the nation who also met the same fate. Chief Minister
should and must take action against the Station House Officers who remained
posted in the police station concerned at the relevant period and also should
know about their wealth and assets. They are not fit people to remain in police
service and should be weeded out forthwith, because they are aides and abettors
of such like criminals.
Untiring efforts of all concerned are praise worthy but it was/is right of all
the victims to trace the serial killer. Clipping ceremony should not have been
celebrated in the manner as shown on media. This is high time to formulate a
policy and set up a website to report such like crime on provincial level and
not to police station. Such like incidents should not be repeated again. Please
save the people from highhandedness of SHOs. When predecessor-in-office of DPO
Kasur can direct the relatives of innocent Zainab to arrange for Rs.10,000/- as
sweets for the policemen, who traced her dead body what can one expect from SHO
who are usually promoted from Constable to ASI and them SI etc.
I hope the politicians and government officials who love boasting of their fake
performance, will now realize their guilt of neglecting their duty. Being Chief
Executive of the Province , C.M. Shahbaz Sharif should not have asked the
officers to stand up and clap on this occasion. There was no occasion to clap
on.
If it is established from credible evidence that these heinous crime were
committed by the accused Imran , he should be stoned to death, if not possible,
or atleast hanged till death in open place.
I humbly appeal to the worthy CJP to kindly monitor the trial of the case
through effective manner. The Chief Minister should also set a punitive example
of this open violation of law with impunity for the nation to see and Police to
realize its national responsibility of taming policemen involved in illegal
activities, including frequent violence of Police Rules and provisions of Cr.P.C.
Sweets and illegal-gratification should not be demanded from parents of such
like victims. All Policemen should be withdrawn from VIPs and only brave persons
should be VIPs, if possible.
