Gangrape cases in Pakistan: Cop among seven arrested
At least seven accused, including one police constable, have been arrested over two gangrape cases in Pakistan.
City Police Officer (CPO) Sadiq Ali told media as quoted by The Nation that a 27-year-old girl who earns her living by decorating women’s hands with henna reported to Violence Against Women Centre (VAWC) Multan that a girl (F) had called and asked her to reach to Fatima Jinah Colony where four men allegedly subjected her to gang rape.
They reportedly shot the video and threatened to put it on social media if the woman did not pay Rs100,000 to them.
In another incident, CPO told The Nation, a 21-year-old divorcee and mother of two kids from Rahim Yar Khan complained to Women police that she was residing at a girls hostel near Jalal Park in Multan city when she came into contact with a person Haris Jatt via a social media platform.
On May 5, Haris Jatt took her to the house of another person Adnan where she alleged that two men subjected her to rape and also shot video.
Women police had registered an FIR and arrested the two accused later.
