PESHAWAR: Police on Sunday arrested the prime suspect allegedly involved in stripping naked a 16-year-old girl in Peshawar.

The incident occurred over a dispute between the girl’s brother and another man on Wednesday in Hashtnagri area of Peshawar.

According to police, the accused absconded and lived in Rawalpindi, Hassan Abdal, Wah Cant and Mardan for short intervals. He was finally intercepted and arrested from Chamkani area of Peshawar upon his return to the city.

Shaheed Gulfat Hussain Police Station House Officer (SHO) Wajid Shah said that the girl was allegedly assaulted by the man, who also stripped her naked and paraded her near her home, after a fight between two families — the accused’s and the victim’s — who had both filed a complaint at the police station.

Taking matters into his own hands, the accused assaulted and stripped the girl while she was returning home with her mother from the police station, according to the first information report (FIR). The accused subsequently ran away when people of the area came to the girl’s rescue.
