RAWALPINDI, May 5: Two salesgirls were lured by a man on their door-to-door round in Tench Bhata with offer of better-paid jobs on Wednesday and gang raped by three policemen and two others, police reported on Thursday.

Nowshad, the man who allegedly snared the girls and took them to a house in Ali Street, and his colleague Raja Afzal belonged to the Elite Force and have been arrested, according to the police. However, the police withheld the name of the third policeman, an officer, fearing “he might go into hiding” if identified.

But SI Sheikh Ikram, who is leading the investigation into the reprehensible crime, assured that the hunt for the three absconding accused was on.

In their complaint to the police, the victims said when they followed Nowshad in the house to discuss his offer of jobs they found four other men there. They forcibly made them submit to their lust and then pushed them out, they charged.

The two salesgirls (Ms R and Ms R) were visiting Ali Street in Tench Bhatta for marketing of their products when the accused Nowshad introduced himself as a businessman. Offering them 'handsome' salary, he asked them to join his company.

Oblivious to what was going to happen with them, both the girls agreed to join his so-called company and later he took them to a house in Ali Street for negotiations.
