Minar-e-Pakistan Incident: Lahore Police Release 155 Suspects From Jail Arrested Over Sexual Assault
The Lahore Police released 155 people from jail involved in the sexual assault of a popular TikToker girl at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore on 14th August after the victim and her team members could not recognise them during an identification parade.
Apparently, viral videos that circulated on social media showed that hundreds of young men celebrating Independence Day at the Azadi Chowk threw the concerned girl on-air, dragged and molested her and even tore her clothes.
The Lahore Police had filed a case against 400 people for assaulting the girl and her companions.
Later on, they arrested a total of 161 people with respect to the case after the victim along with her associates failed to recognise the accused during an identification parade.
“The identification parade of 161 arrested suspects was conducted at the Camp Jail Lahore during the last few days under the supervision of a judicial magistrate,” an official from the Pakistani provincial Punjab government was quoted by the Press Trust of India (PTI).
The officer added, “The girl and her team members (could) identify only six suspects after which the police told the magistrate that 155 suspects were no more required in this case and subsequently they were released from jail.”
However, some accused individuals have even told the court that the girl herself invited them to Minar-i-Pakistan to make videos of her.

Over 2,400 women were raped, and 90 killed in name of 'family honour' in Pakistan's Punjab province in 6 months
A total of 2,439 women were raped and 90 killed in the name of "family honour" in Pakistan's Punjab province in the last six months, data by Punjab Information Commission revealed. 09-Feb-2022
A total of 2,439 women were raped and 90 killed in the name of "family honour" during the last six months in the Punjab province of Pakistan, according to the data provided by the Punjab Information Commission.
In Lahore, the capital of the Punjab province with a population of 110 million, 400 women were raped and over 2,300 kidnapped during this period, the data said.
According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP)'s recent report, in Pakistan, at least 11 rape cases are reported daily with over 22,000 such incidents reported to police in the last six years (2015-21).
"Only 77 accused of the 22,000 cases were found to be convicted and the conviction rate is around 0.3 per cent," the report said.
Pakistan has one of the highest numbers of documented and estimated honour killings per capita in the world.
An honour killing is the homicide of a member of a family or social group by other members, due to the belief the victim has brought dishonour upon the family or community. The death of the victim is viewed as a way to restore the reputation and honour of the family.
Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch was strangled to death in 2016 by her brother who was upset by pictures she had uploaded to social media.
Often dubbed the Kim Kardashian of Pakistan, Baloch, 26, had hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. She posted images and videos of herself twerking and singing, breaking strict taboos in socially conservative Pakistan.

This is not the first such incident in Pakistan. In 2021, some unknown men carried out a similar barbaric act in Maulvi Ashraf Chandio village near coastal town Ghulamullah. In 2019, OpIndia also reported about in similar crime wherein a group of unidentified men dug up the grave of a woman in a graveyard in Karachi’s Landhi Town area and raped the dead body.
In 2011, a grave keeper named Muhammad Rizwan from North Nazimabad, Karachi was arrested for necrophilia. He was arrested after he confessed to raping 48 female corpses. Rizwan was caught running away after desecrating a corpse. He had caught the attention of nearby grave diggers and some other people.
Noor Muqaddam: Diplomat's daughter beheaded for spurning a proposal
A court in Pakistan has sentenced a man to death for raping and murdering the daughter of a former diplomat who refused his offer of marriage.
Noor Muqaddam, 27, was beaten, raped and beheaded by Zahir Jaffer, the son of one of Pakistan's richest families.
The brutal killing took place at his home on 20 July last year. CCTV footage showed her trying in vain to escape.
The murder caused nationwide revulsion and prompted demands for more to be done to ensure women's safety.
Noor Muqaddam's murder by a man she knew in the same group of high society friends had dominated headlines for months.
It brought calls for an overhaul of Pakistan's criminal justice system, which has very low conviction rates, particularly for crimes against women.
Jaffer held Noor Muqaddam hostage for two days at his family home in a posh district of the capital after she refused to marry him.
At one of the hearings, while being led out of the courtroom with around a dozen policemen, Jaffer told journalists: "I was angry, I killed Noor with a knife."
The hair-raising details shared in the court shocked Pakistan. Women's rights activists took to the streets and there were candlelit vigils.
Pakistan Zainab murder: Imran Ali hanged for six-year-olds death
Pakistan hanged a man convicted for the rape and murder of six-year-old Zainab Ansari in January.
On 23 January, 24-year-old Imran Ali was arrested through a DNA match after her body was found in a garbage dump, and was executed in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat prison early on Wednesday, police said.
Zainab's father and other relatives were present.
The case, the most heinous in a string of similar child murders in the city of Kasur, had sparked outrage and protests in the country.
After he was sentenced to death for raping and murdering Zainab, Imran Ali was convicted for similar crimes against six more girls. Zainab's father, Amin Ansari, said that Zainab would have been seven years and two months old if she was alive, and expressed regret that authorities did not televise the hanging. Mr Ansari's earlier appeal for Ali to face a public hanging was dismissed by the Lahore High court.
Zainab disappeared on 4 January and her body was found five days later in a rubbish dump. Police said there had been several similar child murders in the past two years in Kasur but her killing proved to be a tipping point.
Child abuse attracts little attention in Pakistan even though it remains a recurrent phenomenon.
Statistics gathered by a child rights NGO, Sahil, show that as many as 2,300 cases of crimes against children were reported during the first six months of the current year alone. In 57 of these cases, children were killed after being raped.
