SARGODHA:

A woman was allegedly raped on Wednesday by three men at whose house she was staying with her husband. Police said the couple had married a few days ago in a court.

They then went to Noshehra Wadison, a village near the city, where they stayed at a place suggested by friend back home.

They told police that the three men offered the woman to spend the night with some women of their family at a nearby house, while her husband stayed at the guesthouse for men. They told police that the men took her to another house and raped her. They fled when she nearly fainted.

She then went to the guesthouse a few hours later, from where the couple went to the police station. Police said they had sent the woman for a medico-legal examination and were looking for the suspects. They said they found no one at the house when it was raided.
