FAISALABAD: A girl has backtracked a day after she reported to the police that she was raped by three sons of a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MNA.

The girl told the police that she did not want to pursue the case.

Earlier on Friday night, she submitted an application to the police alleging that she, along with her two friends, went to Jhal Khanuana market for shopping when armed sons of the MNA bundled her into a vehicle at gunpoint and sped away.

She claimed that the car riders had taken her to a house in Raza Town, where six people under the influence gang-raped her and filmed her humiliation on the mobile phone cameras.

Following her complaint, the police registered a case under Section 376-II of the Pakistan Penal Code.Sources told Dawn the girl had been taken to DHQ Hospital for medical examination on Friday night but she refused to appear before the doctor.

On Saturday, they said, the girl submitted an application to the Madina Town police claiming that she had not been raped by anyone rather she had an exchange of word with the suspects over some issue.

A police officer said the FIR would be quashed on the basis of the application of the girl. He claimed that the police did not arrest any suspect as they learnt that both sides would reach a reconciliation.

City Police Officer Sohail Habib Tajik confirmed that the girl had withdrawn her previous version in an application.
