The story told in this video takes around seven minutes to tell. But it will haunt you for much longer.
What do you make of this story? About the commentary on the story? About what it says about technology? About us as a society? About our notions of morality? And, indeed, about how violence and criminality gets legitimized in the confused clash of all of the above?
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
More comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “One should not be propagating only the wrongs in our society under the banner of ATP.We may like to learn a bit or two from our neighbor India, which projects all things positive about it and very suavely covers the wrongs.Anyway,it is a very morbid tale of putting technology to bad use instead of improving humanity which is what the application of technology should be.”
– “i think the real sinner is mamoo (who killed the girl)
n also the parents off girl n boy too”
– “also our society bcz we delay our children marriage so much n the result is we go on wrong way”
– “when ALLAH can forgive so why we cant ………………”
– “i watched this episode,i even wrote an entry about it on my blog http://chutkus.blogspot.com/2010/02/human-beings-s crewing-up-at-their-best.html”
– “I think sub se Major galti girl k uncle ki hai, koi b achi ya buri habits le k paida nhi hota, it rlays on the person who is taking care of him/her. & at the end he murderd his nice. So Uncle was wrong from the start n till the end. Other parents and guardians shud learn from this story….”

– “WEll not surprising in a sense that you can recover everything from a deleted Phone, Hard drive memory card wven wen things are deletd.. very easy to recover them specially for Forensic People.. but very sad as how some ppl dnt respect others and keep it a secrete Shamefull …”
– “it’s a chain of mistakes … sorry for the girl n her family”
– “In an illiterate society, the target is always the weaker one and those are women and girls …….. y not that guy have been killed who made the video ….. as the real culprit is the one who left the clue for the crime “
If it wasnt for the technology and free media, we would have never heard about this and do something about it. This honor killings has to be stopped. There is no honor in this, its a shameful act.Mamoo forgot his younger days, when his harmones were running a muk.
There is a girl got murdered here!
Why the girls always have to take the major brunt? Because they are weaker so take it out on them? If it was a boy, would the mamoo kill his nephew as well? No
Major flaw in the culture.
Yes, Adnan. This happened because of Valentine Day being celebrated. That is the whole fault.
We baycharay Musalmaans are not capable of having dirty thoughts. We never rape or kill or blow ourselves up. Everything bad amongst us is because of the West and other outsiders. You are right Adnan, actually everything bad is because of Valentines day only.
I am so glad that we have great intellects like you amongst us who can tell us the truth and make us aware that we have to do nothing because we are paak and all our problems are because of others. Thank you Adnan!
Now when someone says that Pakistani society is getting corrupted day by day and mobile technology is being openly abused due to night packages then some intellectual retard will curse by calling the person backward and conservative. This is not surprising neither such video cases are new anymore. Say thanks to Valentine and other stuff propagated by media which has been polluting young lot which can’t decide what’s harmful and what’s not. I doubt that video would have been deleted by that guy.
On the other hand the incident just reveals the sick role of media. Chalo that newspaper was a local one. Dawn news paper published the name of the raped victim in the paper few weeks ago so how can one blame that local 3rd rate paper?
When money is everything then who cares about ethics and moral values?
I cant say any other word but Just that I am Shaken !
