Lahore: Police on Saturday, Aug 02, in Lahore, Pakistan, raided a home and freed two sisters Nighat, 37, and Riffat, 25, who were kept in solitary confinement for 15 years by no other than their own brother, Qaiser, who had worked in WAPDA.

A police official who was part of the rescue operation team told media persons that someone had told them that the two sisters were kept in chains with little food and poor clothes and were not allowed to walk even once a month.

The officials, in the presence of elected representatives of the area, raided the home near Bari Studios, Shahe Noor Studio Road, and after rescuing the sisters, shifted them with their father to the Services Hospital for check-up.

A doctor of the Services Hospital who wanted to remain anonymous told reporters that solitary confinement and lack of food has caused the sisters a specific psychiatric sense of deprivation which and it will take time to recuperate.

Residents of the area termed it as the most cruel and unforgivable crime and asked the government to punish severely the beast called Qaiser, who was arrested by the police.

‘It is so painful to know this kind of people still exist in the world in this time of civility… and it hurts more deeply to know that the government and the residents of the area were not able free the women in so long time’ said Alim Siddique, a shopkeeper on the Shahe Noor Studio Road.

In 1999, a serial killer Javed Iqbal had confessed the raping and killing of more than 100 children and then disposed their bodies using vats of hydrochloric acid. He and his accomplice Sajid Ahmad were found dead in October 2001 in their cell in the Kot Lakhpat prison.

I saw something like this in a documentary on Discovery Channel... but I never thought that I’d actually hear an incident so gruesome coming out of that country again!!! I’m deeply shocked and honestly have no words to explain the kinda churning I’m feeling inside my stomach right now!!!

Yes, it is too disturbing, yet it is happening in this world, particularly in these countries where law existed just in stories.

This sort of brutality still exist in the world. few months ago we got shoked at the news of a father confined and raped his own daughter for 24 years. few years back also I heard such an incident where a brother confined his sister simply because she did not wosh to go to her in-laws. but in this case I don’t know what led this man do so.

Oh God! Why did he do it?

The girls, when asked why their brother did keep them in confinement, said they were not aware of the reason. The police and the residents too don’t know why he did this to his own sisters. Police said that the man was unmarried.

How can such monstrous behavior still propagate in today’s world? Its sickening to know that a member of your own family, let alone your own brother, can behave in such a manner. And for what reason? What can they really do to deserve this? I cant even imagine what they must be going through, and i hope that they can fully recover from this physical and emotional trauma. As for Qaiser, i don’t think there’s a pit in hell hot enough to contain him for this vile act.

The biggest problem, Nithya, is lack of education and civility.
