Minor girl gang-raped by ASI, friend in Sargodha

Police have registered a case against police officer and his friend for allegedly gang-raping a minor girl in Sargodha.

According to the First Information Report (FIR), the victim was sexually assaulted by an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) and his friend after she was lured by the man claiming to be the friend of the cop.

The victim, a 10th-class student, was trying to get her father released from custody of Kot Momin police in a fake case of hashish.

She further said she was going to the police station when the ASI and his friend kidnapped her in a car and forcibly took her to a house in Nizamabad. She alleged that both the suspects gang-raped her at gunpoint and when her condition worsened, they dumped her in front of her paternal aunt’s house at 2am.

As per the police report, both the suspects nominated in the FIR had been arrested by Kot Momin police.

The victim girl alleged that police were harassing her and her family and also threatening her father to force her to withdraw the rape case or he would be implicated in other fake cases too. She appealed to the chief minister for justice and security.

District Police Officer Dr Asad Ijaz Malhi constituted an investigation team, headed by SP Investigation and ASP, to look into the matter.
