Rapist Usman Mirza Taken Into Custody After His Video Went Viral, But People Are Still Enraged

On social media, there’s a video doing rounds of a guy named Usman Mirza, barging into a room, physically torturing and sexually assaulting a man and a woman in Islamabad.

This is the Monster that raped an innocent girl, tortured the couple and blackmailed them.
This man deserves no mercy.

After #ArrestUsmanMirza we must look towards #HangUsmanMirza.

All those who believe in humanity would not want this monster to be alive! pic.twitter.com/TQ7qHl4h6L

The horrific incident took place a few months ago, but it recently became a trend on the bird app when its video went viral.

In the video, it can be seen that predator Mirza forced the victims to strip off their clothes, only to assault them later on.

While Mirza was doing the vicious deed, one of the persons who accompanied him recorded, the whole scene.

#ArrestUsmanMirza became one of the top trends on Twitter, as outraged Pakistanis demanded the gravest repercussion for the culprit.

Soon after, senior journalist, Mubashir Zaidi confirmed his arrest.

Islamabad police has got him #Arrestusmanmirza

However, Pakistan’s citizens, especially its women, are done feeling unsafe in this country – inside their homes, FGS! They want the law enforcement agencies to make an example out of this person. Not only are they demanding his public hanging but a public castration too.

An arrest isn't enough this time. I'm tired of these issues only being brought to light by social media vigilantism. It shouldn't take a viral tweet for our police authorities to do their fucking jobs.#ArrestUsmanMirza https://t.co/CFQ7ON8IZr

Women in this country have had enough and their anger, frustration, fear, and lament is completely justified. There needs to be an end to this wehshi-pan.

everyday being a girl scares me in this country; everyday #arrestusmanmirza

The reason this continues to happen is that people like Usman Mirza get leeway in our country and a few bucks rishwat gets them out of the jail. People believe the law-making authorities need to eradicate this rape culture in our country.

We live in a country where women are abused & silenced. Where the leadership raises its voice to sideline domestic violence bills. Where abusers can get away with crimes because they are backed by a state that always tells them it was the woman’s fault.#ArrestUsmanMirza

Monsters like Mirza need to be called out; we need to believe the survivors of assault and stop putting the onus of being raped on them. About time we put an end to this.

U blame women for being raped cuz of their clothes, reject bills that will punish domestic abusers n now men go around raping girls n make videos of it. This 1 is in our capital city. A few kilometres from ur home Mr President @ImranKhanPTI its time for a change #ArrestUsmanMirza

Many of them have even requested users to not share the video of the incident to keep the anonymity of the survivors intact.

We would urge everyone on social media to not share videos related to the #ArrestUsmanMirza incident, especially those that reveal the identity of survivors. Despite our noble intentions, the videos staying up only serve to retraumatise the survivors of sexual assault.
