    Minor girl raped in front of father, five-year-old brother in Punjab

    A 15-year-old girl was raped in front of her father in Pattoki on Thursday while she, her father and five-year-old brother were on their way to home from a marriage ceremony, reports ARY News.

    According to details, Zahoor Ahmed, the father of the rape survivor told police that they were stopped at the Pattoki-Chunian Bypass by dacoits.

    Ahmed said that the dacoits led him to the fields, tied him with a rope, and then raped his daughter right in front of his eyes.

    “Later, when they saw some bystanders, they panicked and fled, leaving their motorcycle behind,” he added.

    Saddar police officers arrived at the scene and transported them to the Tehsil Headquarter Hospital, where the girl’s medical test revealed that she had been raped.

    A case has been filed against unidentified individuals. Meanwhile, the Punjab Inspector General (IG) has taken notice of the matter and summoned a detailed report from Regional Police Officer (RPO) Sheikhupura and directed him for the immediate arrest of the culprits.

  • Software installed to keep Punjab Police’s Rs119b annual budget under check

    The finance wing of the Punjab Police has presented a comprehensive financial management software to stop corruption and embezzlement of funds in police accounts.

    Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) helped in the development and installation of the software. This kind of software has not been deployed before in any state-run department in Pakistan.

    The software will monitor the budget of Rs119 billion that is allocated to police annually. The initiative was taken keeping in view the previous mega scams of corruption in police accounts when the district accountants had withdrawn funds worth hundreds of millions of rupees and misused them for personal gains.

    Recently, a similar scandal has embarrassed Punjab Police when an inquiry panel of senior police officers proposed disciplinary action against a senior officer following a mega scam of Rs340 million in the accounts of the traffic police department.

    With this new software, the accounts will be made online, giving access to the Regional Police Officers (RPOs), District Police Officers (DPOs) and the Finance wing at the Central Police Office (CPO) to keep monitoring of the funds withdrawn by the accountants of the concerned districts.

    Meanwhile, according to a police handout, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab, Shoaib Dastgir said that police station is a basic unit in police department and officers should play a supervisory role for improving working and prestige of this basic unit so that problems of citizens may be resolved by the timely provision of justice.
