FAISALABAD:
A 16-year-old girl was raped allegedly by two men who the police said were her neighbours. An FIR was registered on a complaint by the girl’s mother.
Tarkhani police quoted the complainant as saying that two men, nominated in the FIR, had entered their house in Chak 43-GB by scaling a wall. She said she recognised both the men, who she said were from the same neighborhood. She said she told them to leave, but they locked her in a room, beat up her daughter, then covered her mouth with tape and dragged her daughter out of the house.
She said they took her to a sugarcane field and raped her.
She said some passers-by heard the girl shout for help and rescued her. She said both the rapists fled.
She said her daughter was brought home and she was released from the room. She said she took the child to the police station, from where she was taken to a hospital for a medico-legal examination.
The woman told police that she had been receiving threats from the suspects, who she said, were pressing her to withdraw the complaint.
Station House Officer Inspector Abdul Jabbar told The Express Tribune that an FIR had been registered.
He said a police team was looking for the suspects. He said their houses were raided, but they were not found there. He said police were also waiting for the medico-legal examination report.
