RAWALPINDI: A young woman was allegedly abducted from Gulraiz Colony and raped by two people.

The victim’s father told the Airport police that two of his daughters were on their way to a seminary on Thursday when they were intercepted by two people in a car, who abducted his elder daughter.

He said his daughter was released by the kidnappers on Saturday.

When she returned home, she told her family that she was taken to an undisclosed location, confined there and raped by two people.

The victim was taken to a hospital by the police, after which an FIR was registered against the suspects, but they have yet to be arrested.

Separately, after three months the police on Sunday arrested a man who raped a woman and extorted her by blackmailing her with videos.

The victim’s husband, who lives in the Naseerabad police area, lodged an FIR with the police saying that his sister’s husband - who lives nearby - visited his home in his absence two and a half months ago and raped his wife at gunpoint and filmed her.

He said that because of the social stigma, the victim did not tell anyone what had happened while her alleged attacker blackmailed her and extorted Rs90,000 from her.

He added that in addition to extorting money, the alleged rapist came to their home and took rice and other edibles valued at Rs24,000 that the complainant used to earn his livelihood.

The complainant said the suspect continued to blackmail his wife and took her gold earrings, valued at Rs45,000.

A police spokesperson said the suspect will be produced in court for remand custody.
