Four individuals have been arrested in connection with the alleged abduction and gang rape of a woman named 'N' in Vehari district, according to police sources. The incident occurred on May 1, 2026, when suspect 'A' and three accomplices allegedly abducted 'N' and subsequently raped her at a house. 'N' managed to escape and subsequently reported the crime to the Burewala Saddar police station, where she was met with resistance from front desk officials, who allegedly attempted to cover up the incident and refused to register her complaint.
After being dissatisfied with the local police, the survivor forwarded her complaint to the Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP), who subsequently appointed Multan Internal Accountability SP Hassan Raza as an inquiry officer. The inquiry officer declared the police involved in negligence and recommended departmental action against them.
The Burewala Circle DSP, former SHO, Sub-Inspector, and front desk staff were all summoned and recommended for disciplinary action.
