LAHORE: Two street beggars, aged 15 and 12, were allegedly raped by two brothers, who are fruit sellers, in the Ravi Road area on Friday.

According to the first information report, the suspects lured the girls into a ration distribution point at a factory. Once inside the factory, the suspects raped both girls.

Hearing the girls’ cries, a security guard rushed into the factory and found them in a serious condition. The suspects fled the scene.
