I read with horror and disbelief the tragic story of two minor girls who taken out of their small village Daeen in Ghizar district and subjected to such an inhuman and barbaric behavior. Let us all of us work together and help these minor girls get justice. Let us ask our police in authority how they can help the court of law to give exemplary punishment to culprits particularly the police official who was involved in this crime and brought a bad name to police force.
