TOBA TEK SINGH: A TikToker from Faisalabad, who made a video using obscene words about women at lake Saiful Muluk, was arrested on his return home.

According to details, Yousuf, a resident of Chak 236 RB Faisalabad, allegedly made a video of female tourists present at lake Saif-ul-Muluk in Naran a few days ago and used obscene language for them. The accused later uploaded the video on social media.

The Roshanwala Police identified the accused and registered a case against him on the complaint of ASI Mubashir Hafeez and arrested him on Saturday.

In a video statement after his arrest, the suspect ‘confessed’ to making videos of women as a profession and using obscene words about them. He claimed in the video that the police had ‘convinced’ him and had also “updated his software”.

He said, “I sincerely apologise to my mothers and sisters. All TikTokers should consider women as their mothers and sisters and think a thousand times before making such videos”.

RAPE: A 16-year-old girl suffering from cancer was allegedly kidnapped from the Rasul Pura area of Faisalabad and gang-raped by three persons, including a father and son, while they also recorded objectionable videos.

The Saddar Police registered a case on the complaint of the victim’s mother and arrested the accused father and son.

According to details, the victim’s mother B, a resident of Rasul Pura, worked as a maid at A’s house. The FIR claimed that A’s son and daughter went to B’s house a few days ago and took her 16-year-old daughter with them under the pretext that her mother was ill. It claimed that the accused kept her in Green Town, while A took her to an unknown location and all three had raped her.

The accused persons also kept making obscene videos of the girl and got her signature on a plain paper. Later, the accused left the abductee in the district court and fled.
