Law enforcement officials have revealed that the facial recognition software employed by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) is unable to accurately identify individuals due to the obstruction caused by the masks.

To aid in their pursuit, geofencing techniques have been employed in significant cases. Geofencing allows authorities to establish virtual boundaries and track the movement of potential suspects within specific areas, aiding in the identification and capture of criminals.

Investigators believe that the attack on the woman was premeditated, as the suspect did not possess a mobile phone with him.

Additionally, the absence of number plates on the vehicles used by the accused further complicates the process of tracing their identity.
