According to the police, the gunmen were also wanted in other “serious crimes”.

On February 2nd, a woman was raped in F-9 Park in Islamabad while she was with her male colleague. According to the FIR, two men raped the woman at a gunpoint and told her to “not to come to the park at this time”.

The incident had drawn widespread condemnation from civil society and human rights organisations, with the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) banning the coverage of the incident.

Meanwhile, netizens have questioned whether the F-9 Park rape victim had actually identified the suspects killed in the police encounter as her rapists.

Journalist Taheer Naseer questioned if the victim had identified them.

بغیر کسی تصدیق ثبوت اور تفتیش کے @ICT_Police نے پولیس ناکہ کا مقابلہ بنا کر دو ملزمان کو مار ڈالا اور اب انکو جوڑا جا رہا ہے دونوں ملزمان #F9Park واقعہ میں ملوث تھے کیا متاثرہ خاتون نے ملزمان کی شناخت کی تھی؟زندہ گرفتار گھر سے کرو اور لاشیں واپس بھیجو @syedmustafapsp

One social media user said: “How convenient! Two unknown gunmen on motorcycle open fire at a check post (for no apparent reason); the sharp shooters of Isb police remain unscathed but kill the ‘attackers’; later it transpires that the shooters were F9-park rape suspects. Quite a number of coincidences.”

“Where is the public outrage?”

Human Rights Activist Dr Farzana Bari questioned where is the public outrage against these gang rape incidents?

In another incident, a private bus company guard and driver raped a bus hostess on a moving bus in Vehari.

Deeming the incidents “horrific”, she said the “criminal silence on sexual crimes against women shows that we are the society of dead with no conscience”.

Where is the public outrage on the horrific incidents of gang rape of a woman in F-9 Park and the bus hostess? The criminal silence on sexual crimes against women shows that we are society of dead with no conscience.😢

“Victim blaming mindset”

Many social media users were of the view that this victim-blaming mindset is “a strong indictment of both our government and men in our society”.

F9 park rape: Easy availability of weapons, the idea that women don’t belong in public places, that any woman who steps out of her house is ‘asking for it’ or needs to be punished by harrassment and rape is a strong indictment of both our govt and men in our society.

• A girl was raped by two men in F9 park at gunpoint!
In the capital of Pakistan, our home!
RAPED!!!
And then…was told by the culprits to not step out at this hour. The victim blaming mindset – even the rapists are using it to deflect the blame.
What the HELL!!! #F9Park

What a country of hypocrites where even the gang-raping beasts in #F9Park don’t forget to do moral policing, after the rape but before leaving they lecture/sermon their victim girl “don’t go for walk after the sunset.”#Islamabad

“This is why we need Aurat March”

2 men rape a woman in F9 park, Islamabad and then warn her not to be out after sunset. A bus guard rapes his own colleague with help from the bus driver.
But go on and tell me how Aurat March is wrong because women are so safe in Pakistan….. pic.twitter.com/Chc0mh5aRl
