Treatment of the security personals just after the incident and putting female in such dirty process by the police and courts is evident that Pakistani society and institutes has lost respect for women, they violating her constitutional rights and freedom of expression also. The local TV live shows that she was not hit by her husband bullet but the security personals. The court is ignoring the fact instead of evidences and violating her basic rights. The non-visionary system still ignoring facts the problem is not he acted but why he has acted like this is real cause and question?
