Islamabad: In a distressing turn of events, a 12-year-old child was reportedly raped in Islamabad’s F-9 park, sparking outrage and concern within the community. The harrowing incident, which allegedly took place on March 16 but was only reported to the police on March 18, has left many shocked and saddened.
According to the child’s mother, who is a single parent working as a maid to support her family, the child was lured out of their home by a friend’s brother under false pretenses. The child returned home late in the evening, visibly distraught, and recounted a horrifying ordeal where she was taken to F-9 park on a motorcycle and sexually assaulted.
The gravity of the situation is underscored by the fact that this is not an isolated incident in F-9 park. Just last year, a similar crime occurred at the same location, leading to a fatal encounter between the police and the suspects involved.
The filing of a First Information Report (FIR) by the child’s mother has named both the friend and her brother as suspects in this heinous crime. The FIR also documents that the child was promptly taken for a medical examination at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences to gather evidence and ensure her well-being.
This tragic event sheds light on the vulnerability of individuals, especially young girls, in public spaces and underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety measures and vigilance. The community’s response to such incidents plays a crucial role in ensuring justice for the victims and preventing future occurrences.
