Horrifying: Suspect called to court in rape case

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge summoned from jail a man involved in the abduction, rape and sale of the petitioner’s daughter. The petitioner had accused three men of abducting her daughter from her home. She said they took her to an unknown location and raped her. They then forced her to marry a man who threatened to kill her if she didn’t tell the court she had married him of her free will.  She said her daughter did as she was told but the men later sold her to a brothel in Kasur for Rs100,000. She said that her daughter had managed to escape and had come home and told them about her suffering.
