CCPO Lahore Umar Sheikh has said that “the woman who was raped should have taken another route if she was travelling late at night.”

“I am shocked… you are a mother of three and the only driver late at night… [she] should have taken the GT [Grand Trunk] Road instead, which is densely populated,” added Sheikh.

Netizens have responded very angrily to the insensitive comments made by a police chief on a rape incident that happened last night.

What a shameless creature is this newly appointed #CCPOLahore Definitely khurram dastgir was quite right about opposing his current appointment as #CCPOLahore#RemoveCCPOLahore https://t.co/h5AUqg0Ql4
