Woman gang-raped at Taunsa village
DERA GHAZI KHAN: A married woman was allegedly gang-raped at her home by two suspects at Basti Lashari village of Taunsa tehsil.
In the first information report (FIR), registered with the Raitra Police Station, the mother of two said the suspects scaled the wall of her house at 10:45pm when her children — two-year-old son and six-month-old daughter — were asleep.
