A woman patient was reportedly raped by a security guard at a hospital in Rawalpindi, a garrison city in Pakistan.
According to local media, the Waris Khan police station registered a case based on the complaint filed by the alleged victim. The suspect, identified as Shahzaib, was arrested after Rawalpindi’s City Police Officer (CPO), Syed Khalid Hamdani, took notice of the incident. Police confirmed that the victim has undergone a medical examination and assured that the suspect will face charges based on concrete evidence and will be held accountable under the law.
CPO Hamdani said that any form of sexual violence, harassment, or assault against women is absolutely unacceptable and will be dealt with strictly.
Earlier in August, a five-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a sanitation worker at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Lahore. The horrifying crime sparked outrage, leading to protests by students and female doctors outside the hospital, demanding swift justice for the victim.
Lahore police reported that the suspect, a man in his 20s, was caught in the act when the child’s cries drew the attention of nearby attendants. They intervened, subdued the suspect, and handed him over to the police after physically restraining him.
