RAWALPINDI: A 14-year-old boy was allegedly sexually assaulted by three people in Kalar Syedan.

The victim’s mother informed police that her son, who works as a labourer in Kalar Syedan, was forcibly taken to a house by the three suspects and sexually assaulted.

A woman, who was also present at the house, filmed the offence on her mobile phone.

She said in the first information report (FIR) that her son returned home, screaming and narrated the incident. The police claimed that two of the suspects have been arrested while raids were underway to arrest the others.

Separately, another suspect accused of sexually abusing a 10-year-boy has been arrested.

According to police, the victim’s father, a resident of Pirwadhai, lodged a complaint stating his son had been working at a milk shop and stayed there one night. The boy was sobbing when he returned home and told his father that the owner of the shop allegedly sexually assaulted him and afterwards threatened to kill him if he told anybody.

The suspect also threatened the victim’s father when he went to the shop to confront him about the incident. The victim’s medical examination was carried out by police after which the suspect was arrested.
