Girl arrested for killing father who ‘tried to rape her and her sisters’
Speaking to the media on Sunday, the victim’s family said that the girl, a resident of Moosa Colony, was going to school on April 11 when three people forced her into a rickshaw.
"When she screamed for help, they placed a handkerchief doused in chloroform on her nose and she fainted. They took her to a secluded area where they raped her for six hours," they said.
Around 2pm, some people in the area heard the girl screaming and called the police, the victim's family added.
Satellite Town check post was informed and the police arrived at the scene, taking two people into custody. However, the victim’s family said the police released the suspects later.
Earlier, a physically challenged woman admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Islamabad’s PIMS hospital was allegedly sexually assaulted, officials said on Monday.
