MANDI BAHAUDDIN (HRNW) – In a shocking turn of events that has raised profound questions over the state of the justice system and law enforcement practices, a father who was extrajudicially killed by the Counter-Crime Department (CCD) on May 22 over allegations of raping his own daughter has been proven entirely innocent by a detailed medical and forensic report.
According to details, a girl had recently leveled a grave allegation of rape against her biological father. The sensitive and heinous nature of the accusation immediately triggered widespread public outrage and anger across society. However, without conducting a thorough and transparent investigation, without uncovering the actual facts, and without waiting for any judicial proceedings, the CCD took the law into its own hands and extrajudicially killed the accused father in an alleged encounter. At the time, the operation was likely projected as a major success.
The case has now taken a tragic and startling turn. The detailed medical and forensic report of the girl has been officially released, scientifically proving that the deceased father had committed no assault and that the horrific accusation leveled against him was entirely false, fabricated, and baseless.
While the medical report has vindicated the innocence of a deceased man, the incident has placed the entire state and legal apparatus in the dock. Human rights circles and the public are now raising a critical question: Who will hold accountable those who took a citizen’s life without any proof of guilt, without waiting for the forensic analysis, and without a verdict from a competent court of law?
Human rights monitors emphasize that as long as the practice of handing out punishments before an investigation and the bloody cycle of extrajudicial killings are not permanently halted in the country, innocent citizens will continue to fall victim to false accusations, and justice will remain buried in files rather than being served.
