RAWALPINDI: A young woman was gang-raped in Kotli Sattian by three friends who also made a video of her and are blackmailing her, police said on Tuesday. The culprits were still at large.
The father of the victim complained to the police that two weeks ago his daughter left her home to fetch milk from a nearby shop at about 11:30am.
He said as his daughter was heading towards the milk shop, one of the accused dragged her towards the bushes and forcibly raped her. Later, he telephoned his two other friends and invited them to the place who also sexually assaulted her.
After making a video, the accused started blackmailing her. He asked her if she refused to obey his orders he would post the video on Internet. He even asked her to commit suicide.
The grieved father of the victim said his daughter did not disclose the first incident to her parents, but after the rapist threatened her to make her video public she narrated her ordeal to them (parents).
After receiving the medical examination report on Monday, the police have registered a case against the three rapists under the new laws and launched a hunt for the culprits.
