A 20-year-old Azerbaijani woman has been sent to jail on a 14-day judicial remand following allegations of gang rape in Lahore, Pakistan. The incident occurred on the night of September 25 to 26, 2022, when she was allegedly assaulted by three men in a rented flat near Raiwind. The victim had traveled to Pakistan for business purposes and was initially met by two women before being taken to the apartment.
One of the women was released on bail, while the other was arrested and sent for three days of physical remand. The magistrate, after reviewing the complainant's statement, allowed the 14-day remand until October 17. The victim claimed that the men demanded money and alcohol, which she refused, before they proceeded to rape her.
She also reported that the suspects stole her belongings, including Rs200,000, an iPhone, and another mobile phone. This case is the second of its kind in Lahore within the last four months, involving the gang rape of a foreign woman in the Defence C police station area.
