The Lahore High Court (LHC) has summoned Lahore CCPO Umer Sheikh over inappropriate remarks blaming the victim for the recent Motorway gang rape incident.
The LHC has summoned Lahore CCPO to explain his position on the matter.
A bench of the high court headed by Chief Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan was hearing a writ petition seeking the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the incident. He directed the Lahore police chief to appear in personal capacity in short a while.
Over the course of the hearing, the chief justice remarked that the entire provincial cabinet should have tendered an apology over the CCOP’s statement. “What investigation is this? The CCPO is putting the blame on the rape victim.”
