3 men booked for alleged gang rape

FAISALABAD:

Police have registered a case against three men accused of allegedly gang-raping a married woman, recording a video of the assault, and later blackmailing her by threatening to release the footage on social media.

Police said the case was registered on the complaint of Shehroz, a resident of Chak 427-GB. The complainant stated that he was at work in a factory on June 23 when the incident allegedly occurred at his home.

The FIR states that the complainant's 18-year-old wife was alone in the house when three suspects, identified as Farooq, Dilshad and Muhammad Hussain, allegedly entered the residence after finding the door open.

The suspects allegedly forced the woman into a room at gunpoint and confined her younger siblings in another room. They reportedly threatened to kill them if they raised an alarm.

According to the complaint, the three men then allegedly sexually assaulted the woman and recorded videos of the incident on a mobile phone.

Before leaving, they allegedly threatened to kill her and upload the footage on social media if she informed anyone about the incident.

After receiving information through the Rescue 15 emergency helpline, Satyana police reached the scene, collected evidence and registered a case against the nominated suspects under relevant provisions relating to gang rape and criminal intimidation.
