ISLAMABAD: The Loi Bher police have booked a man for criminal intimidation and rape on the complaint of a girl.

The complainant said the accused raped her by drugging her and then carried on blackmailing her and her sister for four months.

SHO Abdul Sattar Shah of Loi Bher police station told Dawn that the FIR was registered on Sunday on the basis of the complaint she filed with the Central Police Office.

“The girl alleged that the accused made a video of his first assault on her by drugging her and then entrapped her sister too in a series of sordid blackmailing over four months,” said the officer.

Police did not find the accused at his known address but the search for him was on, he added.

Girl charges the accused with blackmailing and raping her and her sister

Besides the blackmailing and rape charges, the girl wanted the police to probe her suspicion that the accused had forged a marriage contract with her.

In her complaint, the girl said the accused was known to her brother and had helped her in November 2011 to go to Manchester, United Kingdom, for studies.

After returning to Islamabad in mid-2013, she was looking for a job when the accused employed her in his office and started visiting her family in the Loi Bher locality.

After some time, the man allegedly started making advances on her in return for his favours to the family, but she said she spurned him and quit the job.

However, she said, he later apologised for his misbehaviour on phone and she rejoined the job.

“One day the man called me to his room on the pretext of discussing an official work and offered me tea, drinking which made me sick and he offered to drop me home,” she said.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself at home and the family told her that the man had brought her there.

After two days when her condition stabilised, she returned to her office only to be shown the compromising video the accused had made and he started blackmailing her and making more demands, she said in the FIR.

Eventually, she said she quit the job and joined a hospital. But continued harassment by the accused made her quit that job too.

Her alleged tormentor later sought a last meeting, promising her that he would not blackmail her any more. She said she refused but agreed when he said she could bring someone with her for assurance.

But his words proved another ruse, according to the girl. She turned up with her younger sister at the PWD bust stop on the Islamabad Highway and the accused took them to a guest house.

“There he raped my sister at gunpoint and recorded a video on his mobile phone,” she said in the FIR.

Later, his wife turned up at their house with the demand to the family that the girl (the complainant) had married her husband and should return to him.

The girl said that made her narrate the whole sordid saga to the family, which sent them to a city in Punjab.

The Loi Bher police have booked the accused on charges of PPCs 354A (assault or use of criminal force to woman and stripping her) and 376 (rape) and 50II (criminal intimidation).
