Woman dragged naked in bazaar
Yet another woman appeared to have been dishonoured in the worst possible way by some suspects who allegedly dragged her naked in the bazaar in Khurrianwala.
Police have arrested three suspects out of eight allegedly involved in the incident.
According to police report, the complainant, a resident of 69 RB, stated in her complaint registered with the police that she had earlier filed an application with the police pertaining to a robbery incident against Murtaza, Wasim, Ranjha, Abdul Majeed, Maryam, Ishrat and some others.
The complainant alleged that the accused, who had apparently been angered by the robbery complaint filed against them, barged into her house, hit her so hard that she fell to the ground, grabbed her by her hair out of her house and into the bazaar.
In the meantime, they continued to strike her with a stick and kept punching her in the face, stated the complainant.
She alleged that the accused also stripped her in the bazaar
“The accused fled waving clothes in the air,” the victim stated.
She said the people in the bazaar saw her predicament with their own eyes, but nobody came to her rescue.
Balochni police arrested three accused, who happened to be brothers.
Taking notice of the matter, the Regional Police Officer, Babar Sarfraz Alpa, demanded a report on the incident from the city police officer and ordered fulfillment of all the requirements of justice.
In the first week of last month, four armed men had stripped a young woman in public in Khurrianwala when their attempt to kidnap her failed.
The victim had been travelling in a rickshaw with her mother when the criminals intercepted them.
The victim’s mother lodged a complaint with the Women’s Police Station in which she stated that she, along with her daughter, had been on their way to Faisal Chowk in a rickshaw when the accused, Imran Shah, and his accomplices, who had been in a car, intercepted their rickshaw, forced them out of the vehicle, tortured them and attempted to kidnap her daughter.
The two women managed to thwart the attempt of kidnapping. When the criminals failed to kidnap the young woman, they fled but before fleeing they stripped the young woman in public. The Women Police Station registered a case under the provisions of 365B-511-354-148-149 of the PPC and started searching for the accused.
A case whose nature was as horrendous as the nature of the current case occurred in Khurrianwala in March.
A woman and her daughter were allegedly forced into marching in a bazaar in Satiana naked.
