LAHORE: A 20-year-old Azeri woman who was allegedly gang-raped in Lahore recorded her statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before a judicial magistrate on Monday.
The woman had travelled to Pakistan for business and was allegedly assaulted by three men inside a rented apartment in a private housing society near Raiwind. The incident reportedly occurred between Friday and Saturday.
She appeared before Judicial Magistrate Muhammad Sagheer at Cantonment Courts under tight security. Before proceedings began, the magistrate directed unrelated individuals to leave the courtroom. Her statement lasted for more than an hour.
Defence C police had registered a case against three unidentified suspects following her complaint.
Police have since identified the alleged prime suspects and are working to arrest them. Authorities have also requested that their names be placed on the Provisional National Identification List after they reportedly left Lahore.
Police said one suspect was traced to Sialkot, while two relatives and a domestic worker linked to one suspect were taken into custody for questioning. DIG Operations Faisal Kamran said multiple police units, including the Crime Control Department and investigation teams, were jointly handling the case. The vehicle allegedly used during the incident has also been seized.
