A voice for justice article:
After the
murder case of Shah Rukh Jatoi, the girl who was disrespected by Usman Mirza
also surrendered to the oppressive group and confessed her weakness and
superiority and there was no way out against the accused by presenting an
affidavit of non-gambling in the court, he rejected the ideology of justice.
Usman Mirza, the protagonist of this shocking and frightening incident in a
weak society, and his accomplices had committed this heinous crime in early
2021 or late 2020 in which he was a resident of Islamabad. He mocked a 20 or 22
years old girl in an apartment in Magnum Heights, Area E / 11-2, stripped her
naked, used foul language, forced her to dance and performed immoral acts.
Words that are beyond the reach of the text. And a video was made of all the activities
aimed at blackmailing him for nefarious purposes. The video went viral in the
form of an earthquake on July 6, 2021 at around 10 pm and became the focus of
attention of every person in the country who believes in the power and dignity
of the society. And gradually this wave crossed the borders and this
nerve-wracking video also engulfed Pakistanis living in different countries of
the world in which Usman Mirza and his cronies were seen mocking the dignity of
this girl. Trapped in hungry beasts, this helpless girl kept herself from
getting naked. But these people, devoid of moral values, continued to play with
her body and eventually stripped her naked and filmed the dance. As soon as the
embarrassing video went viral, law enforcement agencies took action and Golra
police station in Islamabad took action on its own. A case was registered under
section 354 / A, 509 / A, 34 and Usman Mirza and his 7 accomplices were
arrested and sent to jail after preliminary investigation. This video went
viral not only in Pakistan but all over the world which caused embarrassment to
Pakistanis living in these countries. Everyone who watched this video stood by
this innocent girl to get justice, even the Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered
stern action against every character involved in this heinous crime. But
gradually investigators began to use delaying tactics for a specific purpose.
According to legal experts, investigators should have immediately incorporated
into the challan a statement recorded by the victim in court under Criminal
Code 164. But these delaying tactics of the police gave the accused party a
chance to continue their activities and Usman Mirza's associates started
contacting the victim party and increased the pressure on them by a combination
of greed and threats. These contacts remained secret because the oppressed
parties gradually came under pressure from Usman Mirza. In these contacts,
influential political and social figures of the Twin Cities played their
respective negative roles and used all their abilities and influence to secure
the release of Usman Mirza and his accomplices involved in this crime. But
public sympathy was with the affected party, and public pressure on law
enforcement agencies was mounting. During the initial process of the investigation,
it was confirmed that in the viral video, the victim boy and girl could be
easily seen and identified. The victim boy and girl confirmed the incident
before the magistrate. Recorded statement under section 164 of the Criminal
Code. The victim boy and girl also correctly identified the apartment number
417 fourth floor Magnum Heights Sector E-11/2 where this heinous game was
played. Police using modern resources investigated the case and challaned the
accused on solid evidence. Meanwhile, the video was verified on scientific
grounds by the Punjab Forensic Science Agency, Lahore.
Despite
all this evidence and scientific confirmation, the scene of the investigation
has changed dramatically. When, on January 11, 2020, the victim, a boy and a
girl, suddenly, in the early stages, moved away from the statement recorded
before the court under section 164 of the Criminal Code. And denied
identification of all the accused. Which can be clearly identified in the video
but the potentially affected party bargained with the accused under some
pressure or greed and refused to identify the co-accused despite the credible
evidence. But on one occasion, the victim also hinted that the police had done
it all on their own. He did not sign any documents or agreements. However,
during the interrogation, the police kept asking him to sign simple papers.
The
affidavit written in favour of the accused gives the impression that it was
written by an expert police officer who is aware of such interrogation codes.
In which the investigation can be diverted in favour of the accused. The expert
author of this affidavit has denied every word and every word of the intrusive
police and has legally nullified it. "The accused who have been named in
the above case and have been arrested and appeared in court are not the same
people who are seen in the video and who were present at the time of the
incident and none of the arrested accused forcibly joined me. Neither forced
nor made a video nor forcibly took off my clothes.
Although
the expert choice of the wording of the affidavit indicates the mutual harmony
and nexus between the police and the accused, the faint expression on the part
of the victimized girl gives the impression that everything was done by the
police and she took an oath. The letter was not signed. There is also the
impression that the girl's mind is still gripped by the same fear that she had
when she was forcibly stripped naked on the day of the incident. It has
gradually increased and not decreased and it has become psychologically
subjugated to the police and the accused as police sources have hinted that the
police also used various tactics to force it not to take any legal action
against the accused. Apart from the accused, there is a hint of negative
attitude and pressure from the police to facilitate the accused group. He also
clarified that the case would be brought to a conclusion in all cases and the
state would pursue the case instead of the victims. Pardoning the accused by
presenting an affidavit or refusing to identify the real culprits despite
having recorded a statement under section 164 of the Criminal Code in the
court, its legal status can be challenged. The affidavit should be verified and
the affected party should also be investigated to find out the reason for this
deviation statement under what compulsion or pressure this affidavit has been
written. For this, it is imperative that the High Court, like in the case of
Shahrukh Jatoi, exercise its discretion to take notice so that the aggrieved
party can participate in the trial without any fear. An example of
reconciliation between the parties is on record, when an attempt was made to
dismiss the case in the name of Diyat and the heirs of Shah Rukh Jatoi
allegedly gave the heirs of the slain Shah Zeb Khan a 500 yards house in Defence
Karachi, Australia. An affidavit of reconciliation had been written for a flat.
Two people, including Jatoi, were sentenced to death and the other accomplices
were sentenced and fined.
Once again, the eyes of the people are fixed on the High Court with the hope that justice will be done to the victim girl who was humiliated and ridiculed for her bravery. In order to protect the society from their evil for the future, the people are awaiting suo motu notice from the high courts with the belief that this case should also be tried in the anti-terrorism court.
