FAISALABAD, Sept 21: A woman member of the Mamukanjan union council has threatened to commit suicide in front of the offices of SP (Investigation) if the culprits involved in the gang-rape of her daughter were not challaned in a Hudood case.

Talking to newsmen here on Sunday, Manzooran Bibi said that accused Ansar Abbas, Sultan Ahmed and their two accomplices had kidnapped her daughter at gunpoint and gang-raped her on June 30 this year.

She said that despite the application moved by her, the area police booked the accused in a scuffle case instead of a rape case. She approached the higher authorities and succeeded in entering Section 10 of the Hudood Ordinance as the rape had been testified in the medical report.

She alleged that the investigating officer was trying to delete the Hudood Ordinance section after taking a huge bribe from the accused. The area police was in league with the culprits and she was being forced to sign a compromise deal, she alleged.

TWO KILLED: Two persons were killed while five others sustained injuries when two wagons of the urban transport fell in a canal here on Sunday.

Two wagons fell in the Rakh Branch Canal due to overspeeding as a result of which Mujahid Shah and Sakeena Bibi died while Riaz, Hassan, Iqbal, Amin and Qayyum sustained serious injuries. They were shifted to a nearby hospital where their condition was stated to be stable.

AXED TO DEATH: A girl was axed to death by her relatives on Sunday for her alleged bad character in Chak 293-RB in the area of Chak Jhumra.

Sabiran Bibi was working in her house when Waris and Aslam came there and attacked her with axes and killed her on the spot.
