The typical deeds of senior PML-N leaders...Their mentality is that he are the badshahs and always above law.

Now, as typical PML-N drama, they will make a false report and all the blame will fall on the victim and the investigators and the court will pay a key role in achieving this outcome.

People should be outraged and out on the streets protesting so these "pillars" of society will go to jail...and also make sure that the DNA evidence is preserved. Easy to manipulate the DNA evidence.

@asad LATEEF Even if it is true, she is a minor and the rapists are still guilty. And if it is not true then you, my friend, should be going to jail for levelling false and serious accusations against someone's daughter.

"A police source told Dawn that on the assurance of a fair investigation by a senior PML-N leader, Adnan Sanaullah had turned himself in to police."
So the claims of Hamza Shahbaz, Rana Sana and Rana Mashhood proved false that PML(N) and its leadership has no association with the main culprit of the crime.

So PML-N leaders were in contact with the rapist and they were giving him assurance that you will be freed. If PML-N leaders were in contact with him they are also guilty.

PML-N senior member has no business putting his retarded opinion or pressure on the police for a fair investigation. By saying this he is making a mockery of the Punjab police and confirming the monetary dealings which go on behind the scene. Now if Punjab police is really corrupt it will try to sweep this under the carpet. Let us see !!

only what is important to shabaaaaaz sharif is acted upon quickly... and in the process Lahore police would have harassed hundreds and hundreds of people!
in any case, this seems like a gang which operated to trap people.

I can guarantee that the main PMLN suspect will walk free. There is no chance he will get even a slap on the wrist in the PMLN run Punjab. Just wait and watch.
Where are all the civilised people of Lahore, Punjab and Pakistan demanding justice for the poor victim? Where are liberals like Asma Jahangir doing the rounds on TV asking for justice? If people are not out on the streets for this heinous crime, then I will say Indians are 100 times better than Pakistanis because this happened there and they were out on the streets demanding justice.

The victim should have been examined in Forensic institute Lahore. I suspect vital DNA evidence has been lost. Circumstantial evidence will be twisted, witnesses bought, stories planted in the media and police influenced. The end result would be that accused would be honourably freed and the victim blamed.
I hope I am wrong, but this is Pakistan

@Baaligh Arresting is the process of formally charging the person, as distinct from apprehending or catching him.
