PESHAWAR: It is a matter of serious concern for law enforcement agencies that women in a large number are getting involved in heinous crimes in our society.
The case in the province of Khyber Pakthunkhwa has forced officers of the law enforcement agencies to change their strategy to deal with the situation.
According to a document of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), since 2014 at least 51 women have been found involved in different heinous cases.
Of these women, 30 were found involved in terrorism, 13 in kidnapping for ransom and three in target killing cases.
Moreover, two women were involved in extortion cases, and three others in terror financing.
Imran Shahid, the DIG of the department, said involvement of women in heinous cases was a challenge for law enforcement agencies but efforts were ongoing to bring such criminals to book.
