Teenager allegedly raped, killed

A fourteen-year-old boy was allegedly raped and killed in Lundianwala, police said.

Police said Tanveer Shahzad took a stand in the case filed with the police that four months ago, he had sent his fourteen-year-old son Mohammad Faizan to Hamraz to teach him how to play drums.

Hamraz, along with his wife, Sadia Bibi, took his son to his father-in-law’s house at Faridabad Syedwala, said the complainant.

He said that the suspect, Hamraz, left his son and his wife Sadia with Waqas and others and returned to his house in Sajhian. Tanveer Shahzad said that when he inquired about his son, the suspect told him that he had left him with Waqas and Abdul Razzaq to pick strawberries, and Faizan would be back in a day or two.

He alleged that suspects Waqas, Abdul Razzaq and others raped his son Faizan.

Tanveer Shahzad said that his son's condition deteriorated.

The victim’s father said that he took his son to the hospital where he died after being in a life and death struggle.
