LAHORE: A woman was allegedly first sedated and then raped at a hospital in Lahore.

The 'victim' in the complaint filed with the police said that she went to a local hospital for treatment for pain in her private parts, where doctors took her to a surgical ward where she was injected with sedatives and operated on.

Upon her return home after the procedure, when she removed the bandages there was sign of any blood or pain.

However, when she went for a check up at the Sheikh Zahid Hospital, the doctors told her she was pregnant.

Rashid said that if the suspects are found to be guilty then they would be taken to task as per the law.
