#ArrestUsmanMirza case: ‘Our concern is to protect the boy, girl from danger’: Islamabad Police
Four people were arrested in connection with Usman Mirza in Islamabad after a disturbing video went viral on social media where he could be seen torturing and assaulting a couple. He was also seen stripping the woman in the video.
After the arrest of Usman Mirza, the police further investigated the case which led to the tracing of others.
The incident had occurred in an apartment on E-11/2, the police stated. The flat was in possession of a property dealer from whom the boy had taken its key, the officers said. The six suspects also had a key to the flat and they followed the couple there, reports Dawn.
The police later traced the boy and asked him for his statement on the incident but so far he was not willing to do so, the officer said, adding that, “the boy is so frightened that he refused to give a statement and become a complainant in the case, saying the suspects would kill him and his family”.
Police also reached out to the girl but she refused as well, they added.
When police officials, DIG operations, and SSP operations were contacted by Dawn, they said an investigation had been launched to establish the facts.
About the safety of the girl and the boy, they said efforts and arrangements were being made to take them in protective custody as chances of suicide and honour killing cannot be ruled out.
“Our concern is also to protect the boy and the girl from all risks and danger,” they added. A special investigating team has been constituted to probe the incident, they added.

Please don’t post or reshare that video or screenshots of it. The young woman and man were subjected to a horrific assault. Don’t compound their trauma by circulating images of what is likely one of the worst moments of their lives. Respect their privacy and dignity.

“The fear in eyes of the victim in the video reflects pervasive fear faced by women in our society,” said activist Ammar Ali Jan.
Too many women grow up in Pakistan with threat of severe violence if they undermine family "honour". The fear in eyes of the victim in the video reflects pervasive fear faced by women in our society. There is no escape from Usman Mirza without questioning this culture of cruelty.
