The Lahore High Court on Saturday took notice of an application regarding poisoning of a daughter and alleged rape in Village Nawan Kot.
Gujrat District and Sessions Judge has been directed to probe into the matter and submit a detailed report regarding steps taken by the local police along with his own comments.
According to details, Sobia Amaan submitted an application that her friend Sofia Safdar Alias Aliya was subjected to sexual harassment by her father, Safdar Hussain.
She revealed to her mother, brother and grandmother many times but nobody trusted her version. She had to leave her house and live in Gulshan Ravi Lahore. During this, many of her relatives contacted her and assured her that this would never happen again. On May 30, 2013, Aliya reached home on trusting the version of her family but on June 2, she was poisoned to death by her family.
The LHC Complaint Cell took serious notice of application and directed the concerned D&SJ to look into the matter and submit a report within a week.
