A rape complainant was booked in a case when she denied the rape incident while recording her statement in the court of the area magistrate under section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedures.

Three weeks ago, Shahina Parveen got a rape case registered against Saddar Sub-Inspector (SI) Hamid Rasheed.

She said that six weeks back, she repeatedly visited the SI in connection with the kidnap case of her daughter. Later, she appeared before District Police Officer (DPO) Muhammad Hasan Iqbal and accused the SI of raping her twice. The DPO got the SI arrested and suspended him after the registration of a case under Section 376 of the Pakistan Penal Code on July 4.

Two days back, the DPO learnt about the complainant’s denial statement, to which he got a case registered against Shahina.

The SI is in the district jail as his bail plea was rejected on July 14 by the court of the additional session’s judge.
