Police in Faisalabad have filed a case against three men accused of gang-raping a six-month pregnant woman.
The incident allegedly occurred on September 1, while the woman’s husband was away for work.
According to a complaint filed by the victim’s mother, her daughter was allegedly drugged with a sedative-laced cup of tea by her brother-in-law and two accomplices. The mother claims that after the woman fell unconscious, the three men not only gang-raped her but also committed sodomy.
The complainant further alleges that the suspect and his family then locked the woman in a room, preventing her from contacting her mother or husband. The victim’s mother learned of the assault after being notified by neighbors.
Police, acting on a court order from an additional district and sessions judge, rescued the woman. A police spokesperson confirmed that raids are underway to arrest the suspects. The investigation is ongoing.
