Local jury order 2 girls raped
Two girls were allegedly raped on the direction of a punchayat (local jury) on April 30 in Basti Danga Naich, a suburb of Kabeerwala. The brother of one the raped girls was accused of having illicit relations with the rapistâs daughter. Muhammad Saeed of Kabeerwala police station told Daily Times a case had been registered against the alleged rapist and members of the jury. One of the accused has been arrested and the other five are at large. Police said Ghaffar Jeer and Tajamal Naich of Basti Danga Naich had tried to rape Mumtaz, 16, on previous occasions and been told off by villagers. On April 30, Ghaffar allegedly sent his daughter Shahina, alias Sanee, to Mumtazâs house while her brother Muhammad Riaz was inside. Ghaffar reportedly then locked the main door of the house and called the other villagers around, accusing Riaz of having an affair with Shahina. Ghaffar then arranged for a panchayat of 50 people in his house. The jury, headed by Haji Muhammad Sultan, Haji Afzal Jeer and Ahmad Nawaz called Mumtaz and Riazâs sister-in-law Mudasan and ordered Ghaffar to rape them. Ghaffar allegedly took them to an outhouse and raped them.Posted by: Paul Moloney 2004-05-07 |
