1 min read

BAHAWALPUR: A 13-year-old girl, who was allegedly abducted from Qasim Bela, Multan, and was raped for many days by a man, returned home after managing to escape from her abductor.

The girl’s parents told the media in Multan on June 20 that their daughter ‘F’ was allegedly abducted by ‘S’.

They alleged that the suspect, a friend of the girl’s father, drugged ‘F’ and took her to Chichawatni, where he detained her and sexually abused and raped her for many days.

They said that ‘F’ managed to escape from illegal confinement and returned home.

Her father said that he reported the matter to the Multan Cantonment police, but they refused to register the case saying it would be registered by Chichawatni police. The parents insisted that the case should be registered by Multan Cantonment police as the girl was abducted in their jurisdiction.

They said the girl’s medical examination has confirmed rape.
