ISLAMABAD: A teenage girl was gang raped after being abducted in the federal capital, police revealed on Monday.
However, the police, according to Dawn.com, only filed a case at the Phulgran police station four days after the incident and apprehended a woman. The charges were filed under section 375A (gang rape) and 109 (punishment for abetment if the act abetted is committed in consequence and where no express provision is made for its punishment).
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the girl departed from her residence in Phulgran around 6:30 pm on May 1 to purchase milk but failed to return. Her mother initiated a search and was informed by children playing in the street that a woman from the neighborhood had taken her away in a black car.
The following day, at approximately 9 am, the owner of a laundry shop brought the girl home on a motorcycle and informed her mother that a woman, accompanied by a man, had dropped her off at his shop.
Upon inquiry, the girl recounted to her mother that the woman from the neighborhood had requested her company to a market, stating she was going to buy groceries in her car. According to the FIR, the woman took her to a house where two girls, three boys, and another woman were already present. After threatening her and confining her in a room with the three lads who had gang raped her, the two women fled the house at one in the morning.
After escorting the girl to the house, the woman left her in the laundry shop, where she stayed until the owner arrived at nine in the morning to take her home.
