Another girl attacked in Wah
TAXILA, May 10: The police have failed to trace a group of unidentified people who injured six women by attacking them with blades in Wah Cantonment over a week ago. According to unofficial reports, another woman was injured in a similar attack while a schoolteacher escaped unhurt during the last twenty-four hours.
In the first incident, Mehwish Gul, 14, was attacked with a sharp object near Bhabra in the jurisdiction of Wah Cantonment police. The injured was taken to the tehsil headquarters hospital and provided treatment.
In the second incident, two motorcycle riders tried to attack a schoolteacher, but she remained unhurt.
A round-the-clock surveillance has been ordered at all public places. The POF administration has put the law-enforcement agencies on alert.
The incidents have created panic among students. As a result, attendance in schools and other educational institutions has dropped.
Sources told this correspondent that the students of some religious seminaries were involved in the incidents as they wanted women to remain indoor.
