GUJRANWALA, April 20: Two girls, who were arrested in a dacoity case, were allegedly gang-raped by police officers and their men in an adjoining room of the Satellite Town police station.

While sub-inspector Altaf denied the allegation and claimed that the accused girls were trying to implicate policemen just to cover their crime. He said the police had already made recovery of looted goods from the accused girls.

It was stated that victim’s father Bashir of Sardar Colony moved the court pleading that Satellite Town police had arrested his daughters ‘S’ and ‘N’ for their involvement in a dacoity case on Feb 14.

He alleged that SI Altaf, ASI Mahmood and five others gang-raped his daughters for two days during their physical remand and later sent them to jail on judicial remand.

Judge Sohail Akram ordered medical examination of victims and inducted a board of doctors of the DHQ Hospital. Initially, the medical board reportedly confirmed the torture on victims. While samples were sent to a Lahore laboratory for chemical examination.
