By In 2024, the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police’s Special Sexual Offense Investigation Unit (SSOIU) registered 149 rape cases, leading to the arrest of 154 individuals. Regarding kidnapping cases, specific data for Islamabad in 2024 is limited.
However, a 2021 report by the Sustainable Social Development Organization (SSDO) indicated that 163 cases of women’s kidnapping were registered in Islamabad during the first half of that year, with only 26 cases reported in the media.
It’s important to note that the number of reported cases may not fully represent the actual situation, as many incidents go unreported due to various factors, including social stigma and lack of awareness. The ICT Police have been actively working to address these issues, emphasizing the use of scientific and technical resources to apprehend offenders and ensure justice for victims.
