On Tuesday, a shocking case of sexual assault was reported on Lahore Motorway to Gujranwala, where a mother of three was raped in front of her children. The rapists broke into her car and looted her money and jewelry, along with her ATM card.
The Gujjarpura police have registered a case, while the motorway police spokesperson said they had not been able to take action as the incident did not occur in the limits of Motorway Police.

The Current reports that an initial investigation into the incident and contradictory statements of senior officers confirmed that there was a lack of coordination between the Lahore Police and Motorway Police that resulted in a delayed response providing criminals enough time to flee after committing the crime.
Similarly, the delayed response to emergency calls made by the motorway rape victim has also exposed the level of coordination among the law enforcement agencies despite the government spending billions of rupees on the Safe City Project, The News reported Friday.

Motorway Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kaleem Imam said that the victim called the Motorway Police at 2:01 am for help as she was short of petrol for her car. The woman was informed that the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway does not fall in their jurisdiction, so they may not be able to help her in any way.
However, the Motorway Police forwarded the call to the FWO immediately. The lady didn’t get any help from the FWO either.
Later on, Dolphin Force revealed that they had received 15 calls at 2:49 am, and they reached the place at 2:53 am, where they found the woman who looked stunned and unable to talk.

After a while, she mustered up the courage to talk and narrated the whole story to them. Her first words were to shoot her there and don’t tell anyone about the incident.
However, the Gujjarpura police stated in its FIR that they reached the spot at 4 am and didn’t find anyone there.
Reportedly, a senior police officer who requested to remain anonymous informed The News that in reality the Lahore Police and the Motorway Police had delayed the response over jurisdiction.
