LAHORE: Residents of Kasur rallied to protest against an increase in rape and subsequent murder of minor girls. The rally started from Railway Station Chowk and ended at Adda Lilyani.
Cases of rape and murder have registered a marked increase in the recent months in the area. Participants claimed that at least eight minor girls had been raped and murdered in the past few days, but the accused had not been taken into custody.
