LAHORE: A 20-year-old Azerbaijani woman has told a Lahore court that two women allegedly took Rs30,000 in exchange for handing her over to men who later allegedly sexually assaulted her.
The woman, identified as Diana, recorded her statement under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code before a Lahore court on Tuesday. She had travelled to Pakistan for business and arrived on September 13. She initially stayed in Faisalabad before moving to Lahore, where she was staying near Raiwind Road.
According to her statement, Diana met two women, identified as Nimra and Muskan, who invited her to dinner. She said they later went to a café and then travelled to an apartment in Bahria Town, where several men joined them.
Diana told the court that Nimra and Muskan took one of the men, identified as Mohsin, into another room. She alleged that Nimra later received Rs30,000 from him and told her the money was for a party.
She said she declined alcohol and told the women she did not need money. According to her account, Mohsin subsequently attempted to touch her and allegedly locked her inside a room.
Diana alleged that she was later threatened and prevented from leaving. She said she offered to pay Rs30,000 herself in exchange for her release but was allegedly blackmailed before being assaulted by Mohsin, Ahmad and Ali Zain.
She further stated that the men later drove her to another location and left her on a roadside. She alleged that her bag, containing Rs200,000, an iPhone 13 Pro Max and another mobile phone, was not returned.
According to police, passersby assisted Diana and contacted emergency services at her request.
Meanwhile, another suspect, Uzair Umar, surrendered to police at the Investigation Headquarters. Investigators also reportedly arrested Muskan from Bahria Town as part of the ongoing investigation.
