The important fact here is that police have failed to nab any of the ‘unknown accused’ in rape cases and treat them as routine criminal matters involving petty crimes. Kidnap cases for rape and molestation are registered under section 364-A for children and 365-B for a teenager of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). It is pertinent to mention here that in 2018, a staggering 3,800 cases of sexual abuse of children were registered across Pakistan. Muhammad Ali, a family member of one victim, told Pakistan Today that police don’t seem to be making serious efforts in detaining accused rapists. Investigating child abuse cases are the top priority of Islamabad police,” he concluded.
