  "summary": "A MEPCO officer in Multan, Pakistan, has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Shujabad, Punjab. The incident allegedly occurred when the officer, identified as Mazhar, invited the woman, who was visiting as a guest, to an isolated orchard under the pretense of dropping her home. After taking her there, Mazhar allegedly sexually assaulted her inside his car, causing her to raise an alarm that alerted nearby residents. The accused subsequently fled the scene. Punjab Police have registered a case against Mazhar and are conducting an investigation to gather evidence. Further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.",
