LAHORE: A 15-year old rape survivor who was assaulted by at least eight men in a hotel on Mall Road attempted suicide after continuous pressure from police and prosecution, her family said Saturday.

The victim's brother-in-law told Dawn that the family was about to go to sleep at night when she jumped from the terrace. She injured herself and was rushed to the Services Hospital. She is now back at home recovering.

He said she had been under duress from the police interrogations, where officials harassed her with "all kinds of questions".

"She's a child," her brother-in-law said. "You can imagine what kind of questions they ask."

The victim's sister earlier told Dawn that police were pressuring their family to exclude the name of main suspect Adnan from the FIR. She said police started action against the suspects after some TV channels aired the news and appealed to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for justice.

The teenage girl, an 8th grade student, had earlier said that PML-N Punjab Youth Wing additional secretary general Adnan and his accomplices kidnapped her from Multan Road and forced her to drink some intoxicated liquid after which she lost consciousness.

This was followed by a text message that was received on the girl's mother's mobile phone around 11pm last Friday. The text said: “Your daughter is lying unconscious in room number 230 of a hotel on The Mall.” She said the family found the girl lying unconscious in the hotel room when they reached there along with police.

Racecourse police recovered the girl from the hotel room and shifted her to Services Hospital where reports of initial medical tests revealed she had been assaulted.

On the complaint of the survivor's mother, the police registered a case against suspects Abdul Majid, Muhammad Umer, Ameer Ahmed, Haris, Bilawal, Zaman and PML-N Additional Secretary General of the youth wing Mian Adnan Sanaullah.

DNA tests of the eight men and the survivor were conducted by the Punjab Forensic Science Agency.

The FIR was initially registered against the suspects under Sections 376 and 506 of the Pakistan Penal Code. Police also added abduction to the list of charges against the eight accused.

All eight suspects were arrested on Saturday and Sunday, along with the hotel manager Imran. The hotel facility has since been sealed.

does it matter???

 

[jamahir]

does it matter???

1. he is the prime minister and anybody suiciding or attempting suicide for social reasons is a matter of shame for society.

2. the main culprit is a leader from his party.

This is what usually happens in Sharif controlled Punjab. In a few days, the girl will commit suicide and the suspects will be released.

Its the prosecution which is pressurizing to drop the main suspect. Which means the prosecution instead of investigating is part of the corrupt gang ruling the province.

Why don't we make sure she gets the justice - use the social media to pressure the authorities to prosecute them!

As long as we have good metro buses and trains. We have beautiful roads, and bridges. We don't need any justice in society. It's completely fine and survivable to live in injustice society. But it's hard to live without these metros and roads. RIGHT?
From the Chief Justice to the president and prime minster, everyone is corrupt. We will see this tomorrow and of course day after tomorrow. It makes me think of the words of Bacha Khan " That our soil is of slaves & I don't want to bury in salve soil. Exactly we are slaves of our personal thoughts & interests. But it is for sure that Allah will ask from All us that " DID YOU RAISE THE VOICE".
We all are corrupt. Seriously!

We are slaves and slaves have no self esteem and dignity. Its the dignity that its killed in a human before we are made slaves - physically or mentally.

Nawaz sharif and his family and friends can loot in this world but they also have one way ticket to HELL where lava will be poured in their mouth over and over again.

First of all I slam our crime-judicial system we need independent prosecution system ..... we are not slaves mind you ..... we are afraid ........ and among police i am not a Insafi but still says we need to follow KPK police ........ prosecution is needed not in this province but on national level we also needs to separate Investigation system from local police system ....... we can do this by pursuing our parties we vote ......... we will get on roads demanding justice for her might get lucky but we needs to demand a prosecution system .... crime-judicial system and independent investigation

Just look at how many defenders of status quo are on this forum. They apparently come from good families, have good education but still defend this rusted, corrupt system. This is a system of slavery. Of mentally accepting our tormentor is our benefactor.
