ISLAMABAD: A student of a seminary murdered a man in Islamabad after the latter allegedly raped him at gunpoint, according to a police spokesperson.
According to details, the student later surrendered to Lohi Bher police in Islamabad, claiming that the murdered man, Adil, took him to a field and sexually abused him at gunpoint.
“As soon as I got a chance to overcome the rapist, I killed him at the spot,” the boy claimed. The police have arrested the student and launched a probe into the matter to ascertain facts regarding the case.
It is worth mentioning here that rape cases are reported frequently in the country, which has forced the government to introduce stringent anti-rape laws. Earlier on Monday, President Arif Alvi promulgated the anti-rape ordinance 2020 which aims to give strict punishments to sex offenders.
The ordinance was finalized by the government’s legal team following the instruction of Prime Minister Imran Khan. As per the ordinance, special courts would be constituted for speedy trial of the rape cases across the country.
