LAHORE:

Police arrested two suspects accused of gang-raping a 20-year-old girl on the complaint of the “victim”.

The 20-year-old girl, a resident of Patuki, had a case of gang-rape registered with the Kahna Police Station in which she took the stand that she stayed temporarily in a rented house with her friend on College Road in Johar Town and worked in a shopping mall.

After seeing an advertisement about a house for rent on social media, she got in touch with the suspect, a property dealer, who called her to Valencia Town in Kahna area on the pretext of showing her the house and took her to an empty house where his friend had already been present. The two suspects allegedly gang-raped her and fled, threatening to kill her if she told anyone about the incident.

The “victim girl” applied for registration of a case against the suspects with the Kahna Police Station.

Kahna police immediately registered a case and arrested the suspects and handed them over to the investigation wing.

The SP of Model Town, Irtiza Komail, praised the police team on arresting the suspects and said that those who exploited women did not deserve any concession.
