A woman was shot and injured by her friend for allegedly sending obscene videos to her husband on a mobile phone in an area of Lahore.
Reports said the incident took place in the limits of Lytton Road police station where the suspect got enraged after her friend sent messages to her husband.
Police said the suspect opened fire at the victim inside a car they were traveling. The injured woman was shifted to the hospital for treatment. Police have arrested the suspect and launched an investigation after recording the victim’s statement.
There are various laws against cybercrimes in Pakistan; however, only a small number of people choose to file complaints against those who commit wrongdoings using social media or other online platforms. This reluctance is largely due to social norms, which discourage individuals from exposing those involved in cybercrimes. Additionally, a lack of trust in the legal and police systems further prevents people from pursuing legal action.
