Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Hamza Shafqat urged the citizens to delete the video on moral grounds. “All evidence is with law enforcement agencies and forensics are being examined.”
In September, a young man was arrested over allegations of harassing a girl and sending her rape threats, while his father has been arrested for thuggery.
Speaking in a press conference alongside Lahore’s Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Umar Shaikh, Chohan said Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered the suspect be immediately arrested after he was informed about reports that the boy was engaged in the harassment and stalking of a young girl who lives in Lahore.
