Video shows a woman finding the girl outside hospital. PHOTO: FILE
The Lahore police has released the missing part of the CCTV footage of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, which shows the main accused in the rape case of a five-year-old girl, a senior officer with the investigating team told The Express Tribune.
A girl was raped and found outside the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, on Friday.
A few minutes of the closed-circuit video released to the media earlier showed two men, separately and at different times, carrying the child outside the hospital. The police concluded that the man in the video who had first dropped off the child outside the Medical Superintendent’s office is the main accused.
On Wednesday, the Superintendent Police said that the earlier footage showed the child with the men before and after the incident. The video during those times shows a woman named Zohra Bibi taking the victim to the children’s ward. The security guard, seen in the later part of the footage released earlier, took the victim to the police post and then to the main emergency ward.
Zohra Bibi, who was there to get her own daughter treated at the hospital, had found the unattended but conscious girl outside and had brought her in.
The girl, though able to walk on her own, can be seen holding her head, which was a sign that she was dizzy, said the S P. “We concluded that she felt a little fainted,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Lahore police are still waiting for the DNA results to reach a conclusion in the investigation of the rape case.

@SUH: Please don't blame media. If it was not for media hundreds of similar cases would go unreported everyday. Hunt those vicious beast out who perpetuate the crime against children and shoot them point blank. If I knew hundred percent who they were I would do just that. These psychopaths do not deserve even a process of law. Find and eradicate just like pests.
@sashayub: Dear Punjab has facility of modern crime solving techniques now. DNA is just one. Punjab Forensic Science Agency has 14 functional departments to help police solving crimes scientifically. You can have a look at pfsa.gop.pk for further details :)
The accused is a rich man who can pay diyat and get released.
IF COURT OF THE LAW , find the the accused of crime Guilty of crime please burn them alive front of live audience to set Example for the rest of sick mind culprits .,NO MERCY AT ALL!!!
@mkz: its a surprise the police even asked for DNA results....
Everybody who is hiding this man is the culprit.Burn this man in public so that no one dare to do such crime again.
Execute main culprits, the way Saddam Hussain used to do in Iraq.
I think thats the right way to go to wait for DNA .. they have main accused in custody so it will strengthen the case against him.
Shame on the media for making this a massive public news resulting in the life long humiliation for the affectees and spreading to the young generation
Omg... Police are still waiting for DNA!?!?!
