Karachi: A man lodged a complaint with the Baloch Colony police that his teenaged daughter was raped by the son of a cop. However, the police lodged the FIR under the charges of maltreatment or assault, saying that rape-relevant section would be inserted in case the medical report confirms so.
It was Saturday night when some residents of Joenjo Town situated in Manzoor Colony came at the Baloch Colony police station along with the girl’s father Mohammed Aslam, who is an employee of a private company and residing in the said area. In his complaint, Aslam stated that his teenaged daughter A (18) had left home for some work in the evening when one Noman and his friends Waqas and Naeem abducted her near Al-Jalal Hotel.
Later, the suspects took her to a house in the area where they subjected her to rape, he told the police. The police did lodge the FIR but did not mention the rape offence as they had claimed that the medical report would confirm whether the girl was raped or not.
The family says that Noman is a son of an assistant sub inspector posted at the CID. Police have taken Noman into custody, while his accomplices were still at large.
