A five-year-old Christian girl was reportedly raped on Monday in Sector F-8 of the federal capital. The rapist was arrested after the police registered an FIR.
According to Margalla Police, Sarfraz Masih, a janitor and resident at a boys’ hostel in Sector F-8, registered a complaint with the police after finding his daughter crying and in a state of shock upon returning home. Mehak (not her real name) told her father that she had been raped by a boy living in the hostel.
Police said that Sarfraz took Mehak inside the hostel to identify the accused and later took her to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), where doctors after examining the girl declared that she was physically assaulted.
On Sunday, Sarfraz Masih registered an FIR with the Margalla Police against the accused Adeel Farooq who was immediately arrested. Margalla Police Station Station House Officer (SHO) Inspector Tanveer Abbasi talking to Pakistan Today said, “It would be too early to say anything at the moment as we are awaiting medical reports.”
However, Adeel Farooq, a student of Hamdard University claimed that he was being framed for extortion of money. Police said that he would be produced before the area magistrate today.
