The 14-year gang-rape victim Wednesday said that she was in contact with prime accused Adnan Sanaullah through short messaging service (SMS) over mobile phone.

The victim, in her statement recorded before a local court, said that she was asked by Sanaullah to meet him as he wanted to give her a present for her birthday. She further said that he purchased a bottle from a shop as they were on way in Sanaullah’s car.

Earlier, the court had granted time to record her statement as she was admitted to a hospital while her counsel maintained that she was traumatized by the incident.

The key criminal, Sanaullah reportedly was appointed as theatre coordinator by a member of provincial assembly and confessed to ‘entertaining’ police and government officials.

The accused had said that he used to arrange private parties for top officials for which he had rented houses in different areas.

In December 2015, a class-8 student was raped in a guest house on the Mall Road. A case was registered with the Race Course Police Station while police had detained eight suspects within 24 hours.

A suspected friendship was first revealed when Sanaullah’s mobile phone was seized for record.
