The victim of a gang-rape involving three sons of a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNA from Faisalabad has told police she does not want to pursue the case, just a day after she had registered a complaint against them.
On Friday night, the victim submitted an application to the police alleging that she and her two friends were shopping in Jhal Khanuana market when armed sons of MNA Mian Farooq bundled her into a vehicle at gunpoint and sped away.
She claimed that the car riders had taken her to a house in Raza Town in Faisalabad, where six people gang-raped her and filmed her humiliation on their mobile phone cameras.
Following her complaint, the police registered a case under Section 376-II of the Pakistan Penal Code.Sources said the girl had been taken to the DHQ Hospital for medical examination on Friday night but she refused to appear before the doctor.
On Saturday, they said, the girl submitted an application to the Madina Town police claiming that she had not been raped by anyone rather she had an exchange of words with the suspects over some issue.
A police officer said the FIR would be quashed on the basis of the application of the girl. He claimed that the police did not arrest any suspect as they learnt that both sides would reach a reconciliation.
City Police Officer Sohail Habib Tajik confirmed that the girl had withdrawn her previous version in an application.
