    Two cops were deputed to provide her lifetime security in 2001 when she was gang-raped on the directives of the village council. Mukhtar Mai also reported to the DIG Dera Division on several occasions but he also did nothing.

    Mukhtar Mai said now she and her family members were feeling insecure and a man identified as Wasim entered her house waving a pistol and threatened to kill her.

    When contacted, Dera Ghazi Khan Regional Police Officer (RPO) Waqas Nazir said Muzaffargarh district police actually deputed a constable for her security. The district police transferred him somewhere but Mukhtar Mai did not accept it because the transferred constable was her husband. The matter came to his notice and he directed Muzaffargarh DPO to post the constable of her choice.
