Rawalpindi police have arrested a married couple on the suspicion of kidnapping, raping and filming a female student of the Allama Iqbal Open University, City Police Officer (CPO) Faisal Rana said on Friday.

Rana said that the City police station had filed a first information report (FIR) against the suspects on August 3 after the student approached the police with her complaint.

According to the victim, she was kidnapped from outside Gordon College — where she had gone to attend a workshop — by a woman who pretended to be a fellow student.

According to the FIR, the woman had said that her 'brother' was coming to pick her up and offered the victim a lift. After a few minutes, a man arrived in a grey car and the woman pushed the victim inside the vehicle and put a knife to her throat to silence her.

The complainant said that her kidnappers took her to a house in Rawalpindi's Gulistan Colony where the man raped her while the woman took pictures and recorded videos. The alleged perpetrators threatened the victim of dire consequences if she decided to approach authorities. According to the FIR, the man dropped her at Tipu Road at night.

The Rawalpindi CPO told DawnNewsTV on Friday that the suspects were later found to be not siblings, but a married couple.

He stated that the two had also admitted to have kidnapped, raped and filmed about 45 other women. They had also admitted to have sold the videos and photos to an international porn website, Rana said. He added that the police had recovered multiple photos and videos of other victims as well.

The man had further revealed to police that he had kidnapped several girls of ages 8-12 with the help of his wife and subjected them to the same treatment. He admitted that they had sold the children's videos to an international website.

Rana said that he had directed police officers to identify the victims in the videos and pictures, and lodge a separate case for each incident.

Speaking of developments in the registered case, Rana said that the police had recovered evidence from the crime scene and sent it for forensic examination. The woman has been sent to Adiala jail on judicial remand while the man is in police custody on physical remand.

A model court in Karachi on Thursday sentenced a man to death for raping a woman and killing her along with three of her family members for refusing his marriage proposal in 2010.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Kamran Atta Soomro of the model criminal trial court (south) pronounced the verdict in the eight-year-old case after a speedy trial. The judgement was reserved after the court recorded the evidence and final arguments from both sides.

The judge handed down capital punishment to the convict, identified as Iftikhar Ahmed alias Badshah, and also ordered him to pay Rs1.2 million in compensation to the legal heirs of the victims.

According to the prosecution, the bodies of Khalid Haroon along with his wife Aneela, daughter Maryam and son Danish were found at their flat in the Chapal Luxury Beach Apartments on September 8, 2010. It informed the court that all the victims were hit in the head with a blunt instrument.

During the course of the investigation, police arrested Ahmed, who was a friend of Danish and had been living with the family as an ‘adopted’ child, it added.

State prosecutor Atif Sitai argued that the accused had disclosed that he wanted to marry Maryam, a student in her early 20s, but the family refused and also kicked him out of the house.

He further said that Ahmed later apologised and started living with the family again. However, the convict one day subjected the girl to sexual assault before killing her along with her parents and brother while they were asleep.

Sitai said some relatives had visited the family to exchange Eid gifts with the slain girl earlier that evening and Ahmed was also seen living in the house. He argued that enough evidence was available on record to connect the accused with the commission of the offences alleged by the prosecution, including rape and murder of the four people, and pleaded the court to punish him strictly in accordance with the law.

The convict had denied the allegations and claimed his innocence in his statement recorded under Section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Defence counsel Gul Hassan Khaskheli contended that his client had been "framed" in the case and pleaded the court to acquit him of the charges.

A case was registered under Sections 302 (premeditated murder), 397 (robbery or dacoity, with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt) and 376 (punishment for rape) of the Pakistan Penal Code at the Boat Basin police station on the complaint of victim Khalid Haroon’s brother, Riaz Mahmood.

RAWALPINDI: In a shocking incident three police constables (Muhafaz Force) of Rawalpindi Police abducted a 22-year-old girl from a posh area at around 2 a.m. on May 16, 2019, and allegedly gang raped her for the next two hours in the rear seat of the official police vehicle before dropping her off near her hostel located at the Commercial Centre, Satellite Town at around 4 am.

The three Rawalpindi Police constables were accompanied by a young civilian. They were identified as Constable Muhammad Naseer, Constable Rashid Minhas, Constable Muhammad Azeem and civilian young Amir Sikandar. All the four were arrested and their medical tests have been conducted already.

According to the details of the horrifying incident as revealed by the young girl in the First Information Report (FIR) she stated: “she, along with a friend, identified as Umair Azam Kiyani had gone to a posh area for outing and to have ‘sehri’. “We were stopped by a white Toyota Corolla car, bearing registration no: ADB-332, in which four persons were riding. “They dragged us out of our vehicle and forced me to sit in their car on gun point while threatening my friend Umair Azam Kiyani to go away. “They drove off to some distance before parking the vehicle on a road side and put dark blinds on the windows and raped me one by one in the back seat of the car. Later, they dropped me off at the Commercial Centre near my hostel. Before freeing me, they also snatched Rs30,000 and a gold ring valued at Rs12,000.” They also asked her to stay in contact and even dared to feed a contact number in her cell phone while hurling threats of dire consequences if she reported the incident.

She said she was too ashamed of what had happened to her and terrified as well and it took her a whole day to pick up courage and compose herself to approach the police to file an FIR. The FIR was registered at the Raawat Police Station under sections: 376B, 367A and 382 PPC. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Back on 22nd May, 2005 a 15-year-old girl was raped by Islamabad Police officials inside the Shehzad Town Police Station and even earlier a 17-year-old girl was gang raped by police in Sialkot. At that time even the then President Gen Pervez Musharraf was shocked over the incident and had ordered a high level inquiry. It was learnt that the culprits were sentenced to different terms of imprisonment and fines. However, at least in one case, the police managed to force the victim to drop the charges.

Reacting to the incident, the City Police Officer (CPO) Captain (retd) Faisal Rana, ordered immediate arrest of all the culprits and hold a departmental inquiry besides registering the FIR against them. When contacted, the CPO Captain (r) Faisal Rana said the police immediately responded to the complaint and all the four persons, including three Pindi Police Muhafaz Force officials and one civilian were arrested. “We have already conducted the medical of the victim as well as the four perpetrators and the case has been referred to SP Investigations for strongest possible action against them. The minimum departmental action against them would be dismissal from service. “Their crime is not of ordinary nature.

They have shattered the people’s confidence in the police force. The police are the protector of life, property and honour of the masses. If the police itself is found involved in such heinous crimes, then whom the people will lay their confidence in and seek protection from criminal elements in the society,” the CPO Rawalpindi said while talking to ‘The News
