Lahore court permits police to detain two suspects for six days in an alleged gang-rape case involving an Azeri woman. The 20-year-old Azerbaijani woman travelled to Pakistan for business and claims she was gang-raped by three men in a rented flat near Raiwind on the night of Friday and Saturday. One suspect has already been arrested, while another was apprehended on Tuesday.
Police spokesperson Zeeshan Raza stated that the third suspect has been identified, and authorities are conducting raids to locate him. On Tuesday, the two already arrested men appeared before Magistrate Azhar Mahmood at Cantonment Courts, who granted them a six-day physical remand for further interrogation, evidence collection, and DNA examination.
The incident follows another gang-rape of a foreign woman in the Defence C police station area, where two Dutch and Venezuelan women were allegedly abducted and sexually assaulted in June.
