Later, the motorway police reached the spot. On the other hand, the Lahore Motorway abuse case is raising questions on the security of the motorway. It has been six months since the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway became operational but no measures have been taken on security.
It may be recalled that a woman was gang-raped on the motorway in the Gujjar Pura area of Lahore yesterday. The victim was returning to Gujranwala from Lahore in her car with her two children when two unidentified persons gang-raped her on the motorway, snatching gold jewelry and cash, and fled.
According to reports, two men broke the glass of a car on the motorway and took the woman and her children out, after which they took them to nearby bushes and allegedly raped the woman in front of the children.
