RAWALPINDI: A teenage boy was allegedly sexually assaulted by three suspects at gunpoint in Dhamial area, police said.

Waheed Ahmad, a resident of Chak Jalaldin, lodged an FIR with the police, saying that his son was at home when a suspect, who lived in the same street, came to his house and asked his son to accompany him to see his relative in the hospital.

He further alleged that the suspect took the boy to the drawing room where he sexually assaulted him after threatening him of dire consequences.

He further claimed that later two more persons came there and told his son that they would drop him at his home but instead took him to another house and sexually assaulted him.

He said that his son was threatened with being killed if he disclosed the incident to anyone. The accused also snatched the boy’s mobile phone before freeing him, the complainant stated.

Police said none of the suspects had been arrested so far; however, police raids were underway.
