Springing into action over heinous crime of women sex trafficking in the federal capital as well as adjacent Rawalpindi, the Supreme Court on Friday sought report from inspector generals of Islamabad and Punjab police within three days. Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar took suo motu notice in the matter after a news report disclosed that a gang is operative for such a heinous crime in the areas of Rawalpindi including Khanna Pull, Fauji Colony, Chuhur and Koh-e-Noor Mills in the guise of matchmakers.
It has come to surface that a 40-year-old lady of Rawalpindi was sold to different people and was finally smuggled to Afghanistan after which her abductors demanded Rs 300,000 to return the lady back, whereas Rawalpindi police have shown inability to take any action to get the lady free from the clutches of smugglers under one or the other pretext.
The Nikkah registrars of such vicinities of Rawalpindi have also been reported to become accomplices by receiving a small amount of Rs 5000 to register a fake marriage contract through abetment of more than 150 members of the gang involved in fake marriage contracts to give legal shelter after which the women were kept for sex slavery.
Some black sheep in local police have been reported as a major hurdle to take measures against the gang which uses to track poor families having grown-up girls, bring some matches and offer a handsome amount of money to them. The report revealed that once the parents of women agree, the gang sells them either in Afghanistan or to any one in the country, whereas the gang has sold many Pakistani girls in Afghanistan or Afghan girls in Pakistan to the old villagers through fake Nikkah.
The report unveiled that an aged Pakistan national lady of Swabi leads the gang's activities in Afghanistan, whereas she takes the girls with her to Jalalabad and sells them to Afghan agents; however, the gang keeps on changing its location so as not to be traced.
