Swedish Woman Rape
Pakistan: Security guard 'rapes' Swedish woman in Islamabad
Islamabad: A Swedish woman, who is working for an international organization in Pakistan, alleged she was raped by her guard in Islamabad city, media reports said on Thursday.
The Swedish national also lodged a complaint of the crime with the local police.
The Aabpara police station has registered a first information report under Sections 376 and 377 of Pakistan Penal Code and have already taken the accused into custody for further investigation, reports The News International.
The woman has been living in Pakistan since the beginning of the year.
In her complaint, she said she was asleep in her bedroom at around 11.30pm when she woke up to a sound and sensed as if someone was in the room, the newspaper reported.
“Then someone attacked me from behind. I could not recognise the attacker as it was dark. He was a lot more powerful than me. He gagged my mouth with his hands and I felt so suffocated that I could have died. He then raped me," she was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
She said she was allowed by the suspect to go to the bathroom.
“It was then that I identified the rapist; he was my security guard, who was deployed by a security company at my house,” she said.
Police are currently investigating the case.
