A 16-year-old girl was raped by three people including a rickshaw driver in Rana Town in Shahdra Town police precincts on Friday. The rapists have been identified as Babar, rickshaw driver, Munir and Hussain.
Shahdra Town SHO Mehdi Kazmi said that the victim had come to see her father from Baghbanpura where she was living with her elder sister. On Friday, the victim’s father, Arshad, a resident of Rana Town, departed her in a rickshaw at around 4 am. The victim’s father told the police that the rickshaw driver, taking advantage of her being alone, took her to Kala Khatai Road and raped her at a deserted place.
He alleged that the rickshaw driver later took her to the house of his friend where Munir and Hussain also attempted to rape her. Some locals, after hearing the girl scream, called the police at Rescue 15. Police managed to recover the victim and arrest the three accused men. Police have registered a case against the accused under section 376 of the PPC.
