MANSEHRA: A man suspected of raping a minor boy was arrested and sent on two-day physical remand by a local court, police officials said on Friday.
The city police said that T*, 8, of Sufaida Village was playing outside his house on Thursday when AJ*, a resident of Allai Tehsil in Battagram District, dragged him into some nearby bushes and raped him.
The suspect fled from the scene, leaving the boy unconscious. After some time, some neighbours saw the boy and informed his family. When the boy regained consciousness, he said AJ* had raped him.
