 [DAWN] A distraught father of an 11-year-old rape victim did away with himself in Gilgit-Baltistan after police failed to arrest the alleged abductors and rapists of his daughter, family and officials said on Saturday.Najeebullah, 50, did away with himself in front of the Gilgit-Baltistan Constitutional Assembly by jumping into River Gilgilt, coppers said. An investigation into the matter and the suicide has been launched, they added. On July 26, the girl was kidnapped from Sakarkui area of Gilgit city and police registered a report of the kidnapping on July 29 after the girl reached home. The girl told police Sherlocks that a woman and two men from her neighbourhood kidnapped her and allegedly raped her in a moving car. Later, she said, her alleged captors shifted her to an old building in a forest. "They raped me there for three days," the girl told police. A close relative of the girl while talking to DawnNewsTV said that initially police showed reluctance in filing a report and registered an FIR after the girl reached home. "The father was regularly visiting the cop shoppe, begging for justice. He was extremely distraught and the society’s behaviour and the inaction on the part of police forced him to end his life," he added. The family member alleged that instead of arresting the alleged rapists, the police were pressuring the father to withdraw the FIR. Posted by: Fred 2019-08-04 |
