Minor boy ‘gang raped’ in Sialkot

Victim was kidnapped by four persons who took him to the fields and assaulted him

SIALKOT:

A six- year-old boy was allegedly sexually assaulted by four persons after his abduction in Dholan-Motra village, Daska Tehsil.

Reportedly, the police were reluctant to register a rape case against the influential accused despite passage of a week since the sexual assault incident took place.

The victim's mother, Nazia Bibi, told APP on Tuesday that four persons kidnapped her minor son and took him to the nearby fields where they molested him turn-by-turn.

Later the accused fled the crime scene, leaving the child in a critical condition.

She further said that the victim was fighting for his life at Daska Civil Hospital for the last one week where his condition was still in danger.

She claimed that the accused were influential politically and police had not yet registered a case against them despite submission of an application a week ago.

She urged Punjab CM Sardar Usman Buzdar to ensure registration of a case against the accused and their early arrest.

When contacted, local police officials said that police were investigating the issue after registering a case. Police claimed that a case would soon be registered against the accused.
