DIJKOT:

Several women were allegedly subjected to sexual assault, while one young girl managed to thwart an attempted rape by raising an alarm.

A resident of Sumandri Road in the Bansan area of Police Station D-type Colony, reported to the police that six years ago, eight men including Shehanshah, Dilawar Shah, Dilbar Shah, Muhammad Ilyas, and Muhammad Saeed abducted her and her family, taking them to Toba Tek Singh where they were forced to work in a buffalo shed. Nine months ago, two of her daughters were sold to Dilawar Shah and Dilbar Shah for Rs550,000, where they were sexually assaulted by Ilyas and Muhammad Saeed.

In a separate incident, a 22-year-old resident of Medina Town was raped by the accused Danish Masih and Jinio Daniyal.

Another woman was sexually assaulted by Adnan when he found her alone in her house in New Green Town on Sargodha Road.

Additionally, a resident of 108 GB, managed to fend off a rape attempt by making noise when Azhar and others tried to assault her.

Police have registered separate cases against each of the accused and launched raids to bring them to justice.

A couple of days ago in Dijkot, a woman had been gang-raped by two men in her home, while the rape attempts were foiled by two young girls who raised the alarm.

The incident occurred when the victim was alone at home, and the attackers, identified as Muneer Ahmed and an accomplice, forcibly entered the house and committed the heinous crime.

In separate incidents, several individuals attempted to sexually assault two young girls, who live in different parts of the city.

In both cases, the girls managed to foil the attempts by making noise and alerting others.

The police have registered cases for all three incidents and have launched a manhunt to apprehend the perpetrators.

On March 22, a young girl was gang-raped in Abdullahpur by five people who abducted her and threatened to release a video of her on social media.

The victim’s mother, a resident of Abdullahpur, registered a case with the police after her daughter was abducted while on her way to purchase groceries.
