A rapist was caught red-handed by residents while attempting to rape a one and half year old child in Muzaffargarh district.
The criminal has been arrested by the police after being brutally beaten by the residents who had tried to kill him.
According to details, the perpetrator Faisal, 15, was a student of a tailor, Mazhar Hussain who was well known for sewing clothes in the village in the rural area Chak Roohari in district Muzaffargarh.
Faisal gained the trust of Hussain who had assigned him the daily task of buying groceries and delivering them to the latter’s house.
When Faisal arrived at the residence yesterday, he found the child sleeping alone at home. He offered to buy her toffees from the market, and then took her to a nearby field to rape her.
As he had undressed himself and tried to rape the child, she had started to weep. Hearing her cries, some of the peasants who had come for harvesting wheat caught him in the act.
The residents beat him brutally with wooden sticks and bricks, and immediately shifted the child to DHQ Hospital Muzaffargarh.
Doctors told The Express Tribune that the little girl was unconscious and slightly injured, but safe now and has also been handed to her parents to take her home.
Police had arrived on the spot and arrested the criminal. DPO Rai Zameer-ul-Haq told The Express Tribune that the criminal will be punished on merit. “Dealing with the criminal according to the law will make him an example for others,” he said.
He further stated that and FIR had been lodged at the police station in Muzaffargarh under section 376/511 against the criminal.
In his statement to the police, the criminal said his master used to beat him for making mistakes and was taking revenge.
Residents in the vicinity had demanded that the criminal be handed over to them and that he should be stoned to death publicly.
