Young woman ‘raped’ in Raza Town

Complainant told police that the accused had told his sister he could help her find a job at a beauty parlour

CHAK JHUMRA:

A young woman was allegedly raped in Raza Town.

The accused, who possessed some inappropriate video, had now started blackmailing the victim.

Police registered a case and started raids to arrest the accused.

According to the police, a case had been filed by the victim’s brother, a resident of Kokianwala in Raza Town, telling the police that he used to do some printing work with accused Rashid, a resident of Nematabad Road.

Due to his work association with the accused, the later used to visit the former’s house off and on.

He told the police that his sister happened to be alone at home on June 2 when the accused arrived.

The complainant told the police that the accused had told his sister that he could help her find a job at a beauty parlour.

This was just a ruse the accused used to perpetuate his evil intentions.

He said that his sister took Rashid’s words at face value, not having the vaguest idea what mischief he had been harbouring.

The complainant told the police that his sister naively agreed to accompany the accused who took her to Anasi Mor where he raped her at gunpoint and recorded a video and captured some pictures on his mobile phone.

Now the accused was calling his sister consistently, demanding that they meet again or he would make the video viral on social media.

Razaabad police registered a case and started raids to arrest the accused.
