Islamabad, Oct 1 || Multiple cases of gang rape of teenage girls and boys are being reported from different parts of Pakistan, involving not just miscreants but also police officers who have been found guilty of gang-raping, raping and sexually assaulting minors.
In the latest horrific case, a police officer, along with his friend, gang-raped a teenage student who had gone to the police station to plead early release of her father.
The tragic incident occurred in Punjab province's Kot Momin city, where local police officers had arrested the father of a minor in a fake case. The police officer advised the teenager, studying in Class 10, to come to the Kot Momin police station and prove her father's innocence.
As per details in the First Investigation Report (FIR), the girl said that she was kidnapped in a car by the Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) along with his friend while on her way to the police station. She was taken to a house in Nazimabad area of Kot Momin city and gang-raped at gunpoint.
Later, as her medical condition became worse, the girl was dumped in front of her aunt's house at 2 am.
She also alleged that after the entire episode was highlighted by the local media leading to the arrest of the two suspects, the local police is now threatening her father to withdraw it or else face consequences, including the possibility of a fake case registered against the family.
Involvement of police officials in rape and gang rape incidents is not new in Pakistan.
Recently, a police officer of the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police was arrested for sexually abusing and raping a minor boy, who was in his custody in another fake case.
