Saddar Station House Officer Muhammad Iqbal told Dawn that on a complaint of the victim, first information report was registered against the MPA’s son, who had been nominated, as well as six unidentified persons under sections 365, 376 and 377 of the PPC.

The woman told this correspondent that the report had been registered after a lot of difficulty and police were reluctant to arrest the suspects because they were influential. She said some influentials in Khanpur had tried to settle the matter through pressure and money, but she succeeded in getting the case registered against the powerful and hoped to get justice soon.
