A woman and a 12-year-old girl were sexually assaulted in separate incidents in Khurrianwala on Wednesday.
According to the police, Shah Mohammad Qasim, a resident of Faisal Town, filed a report stating that his 12-year-old daughter went to a shop from where she was lured away by Arshad Butt.
“He took her to a room in the house where he sexually assaulted her. Local people gathered after hearing her screams but the suspect fled."
Jhang Bazaar police registered a case against the suspect under Section 376 (Punishment for rape) of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and raided several places to arrest him.
