A case has been registered under Sections 376/337/380/34 of the Pakistan Penal Court (PPC) at Darakshan police station after the patrolling staff found her by the seashore this morning.
Police officials, investigating the incident, said that the victim was visited by two friends, identified as Kiran and Ali alias Imran, at her apartment situated in DHA Phase-VI last night. They had dinner together, which the victim claimed in the first information report (FIR) made her drowsy.
