KARACHI: The police officially dismissed a claim of female employee being ganged raped by 22 men in a well-known factory named Artistic Milliners which is based in Korangi and termed it fabricated and baseless.
Deputy Inspector General Police Karachi East Muqadas Haider has termed the viral posts on social media regarding the gang-rape and murder of a girl in a factory in Korangi Industrial Area as fake, fabricated, and baseless.
Since last night, the hashtag ‘Artistic Milliners Rape Case’ has been trending on Twitter. According to DIG East, very inappropriate news against the company is being circulated on social media without verification. Fake news was created by linking the incident to this factory with the videos of one of the girls.
Mukkads Haider has confirmed on his own that no such incident has taken place in any factory in Korangi Industrial Area. He said, “No one has any details about who that girl was. Where did you live? Where was his body taken? Which police station took action? In which hospital did the postmortem of the body take place? Who were the relatives? Without knowing all this, the enemies of the country and society are spreading such fake and fabricated news.”
