In Tahir Kalan village, on the outskirts of Okara, a minor girl was sexually raped repeatedly for five months. The suspect Riaz was arrested by police after the victim’s father filed a complaint.
According to reports, the 11-year-old victim was a guest of suspect Riaz’s home. In 2017, the complainant married Yasmeen for the second time, according to authorities. He told the police that he and his 11-year-old daughter were living with his in-laws.
He said that a few months later, his mother-in-law and brother-in-law Riaz kicked him out of the house. Meanwhile, the suspect Riaz started sexually assaulting his daughter in his absence, the complainant alleged.
He said that he went to his father-in-law’s house to pick up his daughter but the suspect refused to hand her over. The police said the complainant then got custody of his daughter through a court.
Basirpur police arrested the suspect Riaz after the medical examination of the minor victim and registered a case against him on charges of raping the minor girl. The police said they were investigating the matter further.
District Police Officer Faisal Gulzar said justice would be ensured in the case and the suspect would be dealt with as per law.
