Even a Deleted Mobile Video Can Take Someone’s Life
Before reading this article – I would like you to watch above given video from the TV Show “Hasb-e-Haal”, of Dunya TV, aired on February 25th, 2010.
It talks about an objectionable video of a girl taken by a boy, which he had actually deleted, got leaked out. We won’t discuss their relation or if he should have shot the video or not – even we won’t discuss on how brutal is to upload someone’s video on internet – but we want to alarm everyone about a very serious issue.
Videos that you shoot on Mobile Phone and then delete - may remain in memory. It’s similar to data stored on computer hard disk, if deleted – is recoverable through software.
No further words on this inhumane incident.

Aamir, this is perhaps the most alarming thing that you have pointed out via this forum, I appreciate the responsible post& hope youth of Pakistan learns the lesson (but not the hard way).
Aamir,
Please write down an exclusive article on best practices to inform people, how to remove data from mobile phones, laptops, computers, i-phones, etc.
TV report has shocked me.
Thanks
We did this article in past – that describes best practices for keeping data on Snatch-Ready mobile phones: http://propakistani.pk/2009/03/03/how-protect-your-stolen-phone/
Crux of this article was: Don’t keep any personal data in Mobile Phone’s memory, in any situation.
Yes for permanently removing data – we need another article. Will do it
This is shocking. I am lost for words.
Asif
Aamir can you please confirm URL on which this video can be seen
This Video of hasb-e-haal? You can watch it here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=370747549847&ref=mf
Unethical business practices and unethical gadget usages must be discussed as well.
Video is not available due to privacy settings
it is – i can watch it
I think we should teach new generation to avoid such things,not to teach them how to delete the video. Its really stupid to let some one ruin ur life, why dont we follow the right path ?
100% Agreed with you.
Precaution is better than cure.
I’m normally not the one who tends to get very emotional.
But I was touched deep within and felt for this girl..
I believe the journalist who broke the news to the mass by having it printed in the press should be prosecuted holding him partly responsible for the build up to the murder of the gullible girl.
I’m no law expert but since in Pakistan it seems you may sue for anything and at times get away with anything.
So why not for once give this journalist a lesson by dragging this filthy shameless person to the court!
Totally agree with you.
We should make that journalist an example.
shameful.. the only solution is to go get closer to religion.. ek ek kr ky sb bimariyan khatm ho jen gi.. hamary deen k bas hr problem ka solution h.
I totally agree with you
I dont know what to say. Its so sad.
Make me wonder if we are really living in “Islami Jamhoria e Pakistan” .. :(
@Saahir
I totally agree with you. The “right” thing is not to do any stupidity like that at all.
And for ProPakistani readers, whenever you delete anything from memory (let it be Mobile, Camera, USB, HD) there are ways to recover that data if the only thing you did was “Right Click and Delete”.
Sameful and shocking.
There is a typo. It was aired on 25th feb 2010* not 2009
Thanks for mentioning! Corrected.
files are always remain store in memory until we over write something on them.
@Aamir Attaa; Bro i’ll highly appreciate if you consider writing an article “How/Why to use internet positively and wisely” and adding *orn addiction.
i didn’t used proper word b’coz it might be against the rules of this portal. but i think you can understand what i wanted to say.
sorry for being off topic and for double posting.
added in to do list – will do soon, inshAllah
Thnx a lot!
Dear Admin,
1) = ProPakistani Months Ago Started It’s Service To Keep Us Update Through Mobile SMS. That Was Really Informative Service. Why ProPakistani Stopped That ?
2) = I Also Subscribed To Some News Channels SMS Updates. And They In The End Also Mention The Time Of Sending SMS. But Sometimes I Receive Them So Late Even After Hours ( Sometimes It Happen Even For Personal SMS ). Do ProPakistani Have An Idea Why Such Thing Happen ?
Thank You.
yes – we were not able to continue the service, for some unavoidable reasons.
Will continue it again, soon!
To make the content like videos and pictures un-recoverable try to delete file through computer by connecting with data cable and use software for secure deletion
to much shocking this news
These days it is not so difficult to get access to girls pictures and we can see there are so many pictures uploaded on the internet without even knowledge of the these girls.Many of them never did anything wrong.This can be disastrous for such girls.please guys stop playing with lives.Dont be so cruel.
The best practice is to do a low level format of your memory before selling it.
The practice is not to keep anything personal in your usb/flash drives , mobiles and laptops.
If we do format our memory card through mobile fone twice, can the data be recovered ? i am asking cuz i am goin to sell my fone today so dont want anything like that… !
you should use a some software to erase data permanently – search on google for such software that ensures permanent deletion of data. We will post about these software on ProPakistani soon.
Formatting the card does not guarantee 100% that the information becomes unrecoverable, though its highly likely that data is erased. Low level formatting is the best.
Best way is to use specialized software available freely.
Anyone has the video of that girl please post its link.
Thanx
Its shows how bad we are ……..We call ourself Muslims shame on all of us…..
un married girlant be killed because of zana. Maternal uncle will be hanged because of murder
She didn’t have parents and as she was student of class 10th, her age was maximum 16 years. So according to Pakistani law, she hadn’t reached age of consent. The entire blame goes to journalists who highlighted this story. Those newspapers should be shut down and those journalists should do suicide in shame because their lust for money and fame resulted in loss of a life.
I fully agree with you
i have heard that videos kept in cell phone could be hacked through GPRS by cell phone operating companies. Is that so?
i just wanna say one thing.
If you hide others’ sins now (in world), Allah will hide your sins then (at doomsday).
so even if he/she had sinned, just hide it. Who knows he/she will seek forgiveness afterwards!
what the hell was that? m i look like ignorant? tr to not post this kind of articles again GET A LIFE
Where can i watch this video?
[...] and videos or even altered ones. These websites/individuals invade pictures of girls from their camera phones, facebook, orkut, Flickr, Photobucket profiles and then make them available to million of internet [...]
ALarming situation for females!
Becarefull Females
It’s a warning for you.
