Two men, including a seminary teacher, allegedly raped a college-going girl in Mansehra, police said on Tuesday. The accused have been arrested.
Talking to journalists, DSP Zulfiqar said Parveen Bibi* was returning after giving an exam at Sky International School on Monday morning when her friend Amna* offered to drop her in her fiancé’s car.
At first Parveen refused, but on her friend’s insistence she got in the car which had tinted windows.
The DSP said two men were seated in the front while the girls sat at the back. The driver took a turn towards Balakot Road, but quickly changed direction towards Qalandarabad after spotting a police mobile parked ahead.

Lynching or water boarding let them choose
@Parvez: These guys are Men as well. Maybe what you should say is: 'If I was a man I'd kill myself...being mortified and disgusted'
Should be hanged if proven guilty, especially the one with the beard. Period.
If I had a beard.........I'd shave it off...........being mortifiied and disgusted.
@Jibran: Well said! Bravo! Salams to you.
Why have they not been publicly flogged??? Salams
It seems we want to compete with India in every field except for education, science and technology, polio, etc.......
ashamed as a Muslim . the culprits should be hanged .
From this short article it its clear Amna, the female friend was an accomplice in the plot to rape her 'friend'. Then why is her named changed to protect her identity? Or has she been an earlier victim of the rapist(s) and somehow become a perpetrator herself (coercion?)
Why is the driver not arrested by the way?
Madarsah teacher!
And these people will be the first to want to kill in the name of blasphemy! And burn properties.
@ET has changed names but shown their photo; strange journalism.
The guy on the left used his beard as a disguise, pretending to be a pious person.
Good thing their faced are shown unblurred.
I hope the culprits in this case are lined up and shot. May allah swt cause them to become impotent before being shot.
