SIALKOT: A gang has allegedly abducted a 15-year-old girl for the second time in the last five months — this time, according to the family, as a “punishment for not withdrawing the rape case”.
The girl is the daughter of a labourer who ekes out a living in Daska’s Siraanwali village.
According to the FIR (291/2016) lodged at the Satrah police station by the girl’s mother ‘R’, five people, armed to the teeth, stormed their house on the night of Aug 27 last and held them up. They brutally tortured the family and asked them to withdraw the abduction-cum-rape case.
Family says suspects asked for rape case withdrawal
The gang, said the FIR, once again abducted the girl and threatened the family that they would repeat the torment. The Satrah police had earlier registered a case under sections 365-B and 376 PPC against one of the suspects.
The woman said they were already scarred by the rape and police’s failure to arrest the perpetrators had emboldened them to repeat the crime. She demanded that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and senior police officers ensure arrest of the suspects and recovery of her daughter.

In this respect India and Pakistan are similar. Because of a corrupt police force the common man has become a destitute. Such crimes are a money spinner for the police.

Humanity bleeds at the hands of humans -- well in this case it would be a sin calling these rapests humans. The Khadimeala should take a serious note of this.

Whose responsibility is to give justice - where is MPA, MNA, CHIEF MINISTER, IG, DPO and others. Basics of good governance start with safety & security and justice.
The day Pakistan public get this, we will feel the value of freedom otherwise .....

Not untill this happens to the law maker of this country, This will continue on.
Shame on the law makers and protector whom have not done enough to help its people.
I think once people take the law in to their own hands justice will on be done then.

Culprits should be punished to the fullest extent of the law and Government should make an example out of them so this type of crimes are not repeated by the wealthy and powerful people. But, unfortunately these gangsters are probably working for the ruling politicians and nothing is going to come out of it.

I urge the youth of Pakistan (especially those who have gone awry about their future and have joined meaningless political parties) to stand up and create an army to take down these type of criminals...ones daughter is the nations daughter....

Utterly shameful! This girl is gang raped and gang raped for daring to complain. What's happening to the humans? some of us are worse than animals. It's horrible in India too. Both countries need police institution reformed immediately... reformed from the British model of brute attack force to protective force that serves the public. In both cases they exist only to serve the politicians and the rich.
