DADU: An 11-year-old girl was subjected to criminal assault in a street of Khatri village, some seven kilometres from Khairpur Nathan Shah town, by two suspects on Tuesday.

She was admitted to the KN Shah Taluka Hospital for emergency treatment.

Belonging to a peasant family, the girl was grabbed as she came out of her house to play in the street. Some residents of the area said she was raped by the two suspects in the street and no one dared to intervene as they belonged to an influential family.

Her parents lodged an FIR (46/2021) against the two suspects at the KN Shah police station. Dadu SSP Aijaz Shaikh told local reporters that raids were being conducted to arrest the suspects.
