KARACHI: Police arrested one suspect in the Clifton gang rape case on Tuesday. The alleged suspect, Laal Chand, was picked up from the Clifton area of Karachi.

Initial reports suggest Laal Chand was one of the guests on the guest list for the party that the two girls were attending.

According to Express 24/7 correspondent Ahmed Jung, a group roaming around in a white Toyota Corolla has been known for such incidents in the past few months.

The girls had registered a First Information Report (FIR) with the police which they later withdrew.

An earlier report in The Express Tribune detailed the incident:

Twenty-something K and her acquaintance S, in her mid-30s, were driving in a blue Suzuki Alto on Khayaban-e-Qasim in DHA when three to four men in a car rammed into them from the back. The small car dived into a ditch, the women were dragged from the car, abducted and K was gang raped while S was beaten. They were then dumped back at the spot. M, one of K’s friends, took them to hospital from where the case was taken up.

    Another feather in the cap of the Karachi police. A common citizen faces daily snap checks, road barriers and what not. Rapists, dacoits, kidnappers and all sorts of criminals are allowed to do whatever whenever.Recommend

    They must be punished. We as a nation have been blaming girls if they are modern. Even if the girl was of not ‘good’ character, rape is a rape.

    Remember: rape is not just sex, it is about violence. All violent criminals must be punished seriously.Recommend

    Hang them but shoot them in the genitals before doing so. We would like to know what happened to the previous While Corolla guys as well. Who is backing them. Which politician is patronizing these scum bags. Make an example out of this incident. Women must get the due protection and respect. Curse of Allah on all those who do such things and on those who protect and support such evil.Recommend

    Deviation from their own identity (QURAN) will be resulted in such incident and please think realistically, my terms can be acrimonious but not conservative. Intellect needs reasons to sort out solutions of problems. Fortunately we have been endowed a book having complete way of life but then i don’t know why most people are acting like anti theistic. What the hack problem with you pseudo-civilized and modern people this is not aim you are here.If i am saying any thing illogically then its a challenge start research on it because there is mutuality between awareness and accomplishment and this is basis that modern nations have adopted. Not like us we have no direction except adopting western culture without acknowledging pros and cons which we have seen in karachi recently.Recommend

    Another feather in our cap. People wonder why Pakistan is receiving these natural calamities. Earthquakes and now the Floods. WE, the citizens of Pakistan should wake up and hold the Government responsible for this perversion of justice before its too late and the common man looks towards the mullahs for help. But alas, nothing will be done just like the Sialkot case, the Blasphemy case and the list could go on and on.Recommend

    I SUGGEST THIS ISSUE MAY BE REFERRRED TO HONORABLE JUDGE LIKE MUSLIM HANI I M IN OPENION AT PRESENT IS ONLY ONE MAN CAN PROVIDE PROMPT JUSTICE ON MERIT
    HOWEVER APART FROM THE ABOVE I FURHER SUGGEST THAT A EXAMPLANARY PUNISHMENT SHOULED BE AWARDED TO THE GUILTY PERSON
    AND ALSO TAKE APPOPRIATE ACTION AGAINST POLICE AUTHORITY WHO IS MAIN RESPONSIBLE, AS THERE IS COMPLETE BANK OF ” SHARAB” WHY SUCH PERSON WERE IN SHARAB KAY NASHAY MAIN THIS IS CLEAR CASE OF CRIMERecommend
