TREND OF CRIMES
Most of the area of Muzaffargarh is rural in nature. In early days, cattle theft
was common as the cattle heads could be easily shifted across the two rivers
on both sides of the district. The trend and nature of crimes has changed
over the time. Murder, dacoity/robbery, burglary, ordinary theft, narcotics
trade, illicit arms etc. constitute bulk of crimes today. Street crime as well as
vehicle snatching is on the rise too. It may also be noted that the Mukhtaran
Mai incident had also taken place in Muzaffargarh, i.e. in Tehsil Jatoi, in
2002, as a result of which, since then, reporting of gender crimes has surged
substantially in the district.
