| [DAWN] KARACHI: Relatives of a teenage rape victim and representatives of a non-governmental organization on Monday accused the Sachal police of ’manipulating’ facts in their complaint and registering a ’defective’ FIR to benefit the suspects. Speaking at a presser at the Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Press Club, the relatives and NGO officials with the alleged rape victim said that instead of registering a rape case against the suspects, the police merely mentioned in the FIR that they tried to outrage her modesty. Giving details of the incident that took place on May 8 in Safoora Goth, they said that the 16-year-old girl was at her brother-in-law’s house when three suspects, including a relative, came there and subjected her to rape. The family approached the police for lodging an FIR but they initially refused to entertain their request. On May 15, the Sachal police registered an FIR but not in accordance with the victim’s statement, they alleged. The NGO representative, Shamsheer Khan, alleged in the presser that the police had not only manipulated the case but were not taking any interest to arrest the nominated suspect. The relatives demanded action against the coppers concerned. Meanwhile, ...back at the mall, Clarissa suddenly spied Mr. Bartlett at the checkout counter. He was buying Grecian Formula!... the Sachal police said that they started the paperwork but haven't done much else (FIR 260/2016) against three suspects under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty,) 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 337-A (punishment of shajjah) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistain Penal Code. |
