IG Punjab dismisses reports of any arrest
Earlier the Inspector General of the Punjab police, Inam Ghani had dismissed reports that a suspect in the Lahore Motorway gang rape case has been arrested.
He added that he would share the news of any arrest himself as he is directly monitoring the investigations.
“Such unconfirmed news affects the case and is also misleading for the public,” he said. He also said that pictures of the woman and the suspect of the case being shared on social media were fake. He requested the media to confirm facts before reporting on such sensitive issues.
He also refused to defend the victim-blaming comments by the Lahore CCPO Umar Sheikh on the Lahore motorway incident. He stressed that in no way the victim can be blamed for the horrific event.
