Influential men in Sheikhupura on Monday gang-raped five girls, including the daughter and nieces of a poor worker. According to media reports, Muhammad Boota, a labourer, who used to till the land of local landlords Mara Jat and Zaheer Jat, settled an agreement with them under which he agreed to harvest their crop against a mutually agreed amount of money. When the job was done, Boota demanded his remuneration but the landlords, in connivance with their aides, tied Boota and his wife with ropes and unscrupulously gang-raped his 13-year-old daughter Samina, 15-year-old niece Farah, 18-year-old Saima, 13-year-old Iram, and 14-year-old Safia. The Narangmandi Police registered a case against the accused, and a court has ordered medical examination of the rape victims.
