The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday took notice of the kidnapping and gang rape reported by the press of a female minor in Hafizabad.
The Hafizabad District and Sessions Judge has been directed to probe into the matter and submit a detailed report regarding steps taken by the local police along with his own comments.
According to details, the victim’s parents said that their 13-year-old daughter was kidnapped at gunpoint and then gang raped. She was then left naked in the street in front of their house. The suspects later threatened to kill the girl if they filed a complaint with the police.
The victim’s family protested against the police for refusing to register a gang rape complaint against the four suspects.
The protesters gathered in front of the Press Club and chanted slogans against the police. Later, they dispersed after some police officers assured them that an investigation would begin soon.
