Gang-rape case: court summons victim to record statement

A local court on Wednesday summoned the Lahore gang-rape victim on December 31 to record her statement in the case.

The girl and the main suspect Adnan Sanaullah were presented before the judicial magistrate.

The statement of the victim was not recorded due to the absence of the defence lawyer. On that, the court ordered to present her again the next day.

On the other hand, all the eight accused will also be presented before the court as their physical remand ends on Thursday.

The 15-year-old girl was kidnapped and then allegedly intoxicated and raped by as many as eight persons in a guest house on Mall Road on December 25.

The victim was shifted to a hospital where the medics confirmed sexual assault.

The eight suspects including the key person Adnan Sanaullah nominated in the FIR of the case were arrested on immediate basis by the police as the government took notice of the incident and directed police to nab the culprits as soon as possible.

They were later sent on a three-day physical remand by the court for interrogation.
