MANSEHRA:
The Anti-Terrorism Court, Abbottabad, convicted the head of a seminary and his two accomplices on Thursday for subjecting a first-year girl to rape in a moving car, sentencing two of them to 14 years of imprisonment.
ATC Judge Raja Masood also convicted a co-accused, who was driving the car when his accomplices were raping, to 10 years of imprisonment.
The rape case took place on May 12 last year when Cleric Qari Naseer, head of a seminary, and his two accomplices Mohammad Faizan and Hussain Mushtaq, tricked a student into sitting in their car with the help of an accomplice ‘Anam Bibi’, also a class-mate of the victim.
The police arrested the three men under the Anti Terrorism Act and different sections of Pakistan penal code.
It was the first case of its nature where convicts raped their victim in a moving car and pushed her out of the vehicle at the Gazikot Township after the incident.
The ATC announced the verdict after hearing the case for about 10 months.
