BAHAWALNAGAR: The Saddar police arrested a man and his brother on Friday for sexually assaulting his deaf-mute minor sister-in-law.
Police said a man (name with held) from Basti Musa Tibba lured the nine-year-old girl to his house on May 10 at 4pm when she was playing outside her home.
While searching for her, the family members entered the house of the man and found him raping the girl while his brother was standing in the courtyard of the house.
The duo fled after seeing the witnesses, they added.
Police said initially, the elders of the area stopped the family from taking legal action. However, a case was registered against the duo on May 11 on the complaint of the victim’s mother.
The police said the girl had been shifted to the hospital for a medical examination while the suspects were arrested.
