Woman Escapes Gang-Rape Attempt at Famous Park in Islamabad

A 23-year-old woman sustained multiple injuries after being targeted by three armed robbers attempting to sexually assault her at Ankara Park in Islamabad, according to Dawn. Police sources stated that the woman was walking through the park when the suspects confronted her with guns drawn and stole her mobile phone. They then tried to take her to a wooded area, but she resisted.

The confrontation resulted in her suffering injuries to her face. The suspects managed to flee once they realized they couldn't overpower her. The woman subsequently reported the incident to the police, who filed a case. Another incident occurred last week in the Gangal area, where a 26-year-old woman was gang-raped after returning home from work.

Local men intercepted her, led her to a wooded area, and sexually assaulted her before escaping. The victim contacted the police and was taken to a hospital for a medical-legal examination, after which a case was registered under Section 376 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which deals with rape.
