OKARA: Police have registered a case against a man allegedly for repeated rape and murder of a teenage girl, working at his house as domestic help, at Mirzapur village of Dipalpur tehsil.

According to the FIR, victim Naila, aged 16-17, was employed by the suspect as home help. The suspect later informed Naila’s family that she had been admitted to the THQ Hospital in a critical condition after she “fell sick”.

However, when her family members reached the hospital, Naila told them that the suspect had been repeatedly raping her and she got pregnant.

She also told her family that the suspect had been giving her medicines to abort the pregnancy, which left her sick. As the girl’s condition deteriorated, the doctors at the THQ hospital referred her to the Sahiwal DHQ Hospital, where she died two days ago.

On the report of victim’s grandmother Azra Bibi, Dipalpur city police have registered a case against the suspect.

The police are looking for the suspect who has fled away.
