A Lahore court has extended the physical remand of two prime suspects by four days in a gang-rape case involving an Azeri woman. The suspects, who are three of the four accused, were previously arrested on September 26 following the complaint lodged by the 20-year-old woman who travelled to Pakistan for business. The incident reportedly took place in a rented flat in a private housing society near Raiwind.
During the court hearing on Friday, the investigating officer stated that a significant portion of the investigation was already completed, but they needed to recover the suspects' mobile phones. The magistrate granted the extension, citing the need to complete the investigation. Additionally, the complainant has accused two women of abetting the crime, with one of them currently on physical remand and the other on bail.
