Sargodha, Pakistan (ROD): On the 2^nd June, 08, at 10:30 am, a meeting was held in the SP Investigating office Sargodha, to solve the dispute between the two parties. Waheeda Noureen, her neighborhood as well as the three criminals who violated her chastity were called. Rosy Dewan , Nadeem Samuel and Imran Mazher of the Rays of Development Organization, attended the meeting. Besides them was the Chairman of TANG Organization, Dr. Ahmad Khan. The Vice President Shameem Akhtar and Rukhsana Yaseen the President of Women Wing PPP Sargodha and the social worker Jameela were also side to side in these proceedings. They all tried to convince both the parties, especially the poor victim, to make the both ends meet in the presence of the media.

With the help of logic and argument, by measuring all the pros and cons of that incident, it was decided that those three men will apologize to the woman at the same spot where they tore her clothes and beat her down. They will return all her belongings which they snatched from her and will touch her feet in front of all with a promise that they will never ever dare to attempt such a devilish task again and will respect women as well as accept their highly regarded status in the society. As far as related to the consequence of that ASI Investigating Officer, Mohammad Luqman, it was enough insult that the case was taken from him.

On the same day at 6:30pm, in the evening, they all gathered on that spot and those three men apologized to Waheeda Noureen and she accepted it. An agreement was written on a stamp paper between Waheeda Noureen and the three criminals that criminals would never disturb her, they also returned her money snatched from her. Was that enough to satiate the tormented soul of that woman? Was she properly justified? How can she be justified if the criminals were just given another chance to reform themselves? She was not satisfied nor can she ever forget what happened to her. But there was no other remedy as adding fuel to fire might become the cause of a destructive result.
