The horrendous motorway incident has shocked everyone and it’s hard to fathom the pain that the victim had to go through during such a brutal act of barbarism.

While everyone is furious over the incident, the Capital City Police Officer of Lahore, Umar Sheikh, has blamed the victim for not taking precautions instead of taking the blame and promising to catch the absconders.

In a telephonic conversation with a local news channel, the top Police officer said that a lone driver, who is a mother of three, should have used GT Road for traveling to Gujranwala. Even if the woman wanted to take motorway, she should have at least checked the petrol in her car, the officer noted.

While the victim should have been more careful, the CCPO’s remarks have come at the wrong time, enraging everyone with his words. Following his comments, #RemoveCCPOLahore is a top trend on Twitter in the country as the nation demands him to step down from his post.

Let’s have a look at what people are saying about the issue:

What a misogynist police officer. Blaming the victim? His statement clearly reflects the root cause of the problem, women are not free to do what they want and if they do, they are under threat and police won’t help.
