*Fake peer allegedly rapes a woman, her daughter to rid them of ‘hidden power’
A fake peer allegedly raped a woman and her young daughter in a bid to rid them of “hidden powers” in village Kotli Loharaan-West, Tehsil Sialkot.
Saleema and her daughter Nazia frequently visited the “dera” of a local fake peer Liaqat Ali for “spiritual treatment”.
On the day of the incident, the peer told them that the last part of the treatment would be completed at their home.
The accused peer reached the victims’ home and allegedly raped Saleema and later Nazia on the same night, saying them that it was vital to curb the menace of the hidden powers, which, according to the fake peer, had over powered both of them.
After committing the heinous crime, the accused assured the victims that now the giants and witches would never tease them after their treatment.
The woman and her daughter told the police that the accused peer had also extorted Rs 150,000 in cash from them in the name of their spiritual treatment. Kotli Loharaan police have registered a case, with no arrest, in this regard.
