Rape survivor’s family accuses police of indifference

MINGORA: A teenage girl’s father, who accused members of a rival family of kidnapping and later sexually abusing his daughter, appealed to the chief minister, chief justice and prime minister to provide the family with justice.

The 17-year-old rape survivor is a resident of Kas, an area of Kalam tehsil. She and her father asked authorities to look into the matter after police failed to take action against the suspects who belonged to a powerful rival family.

She told The Express Tribune she was kidnapped and first kept in Jalband area of Kalam tehsil for 13 days.

“Then, I was secretly taken to Peshawar by Zeeshan Khan and Jibran Khan where I spent 13 days in their custody.”

Narrating her traumatic ordeal, the girl said she was abused and her abductors were waiting for a party to which she would be sold. “My father is a poor man and he is leaving no stone unturned to ensure justice for me.”

The survivor’s father, told The Express Tribune his daughter was abducted and the family registered an FIR, against four men — Abdul Manan, Tahir Khan, Zeeshan Khan and Jibran Khan — all of whom are members of a rival family in their native area.

They took her to an undisclosed location for several days and sexually assaulted her, apart from subjecting the teenager to violence.
