LAHORE: Five suspects in the Lahore rape case were released on Wednesday after a polygraph test was done, Express News reported. 

The released suspects were Abdul Qaddus, Zafar Iqbal, two guards from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and Mughalpura's trash collector Imran Shaheed.

Two police constables identified as Abid and Zahid are still in custody and are undergoing investigation.

Geo-fencing showed that they were in Mughalpura on the day of the rape and witnesses placed them in the vicinity of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital as well.

On September 13, a 5-year-old girl was found outside a Lahore hospital at around 8:00 pm, a day after she went missing from a low-income neighbourhood in the city. Doctors had said that she was raped several times.

The 5-year-old girl’s condition is satisfactory now and she will be kept in the hospital due to security issues.
