CM Punjab Usman Buzdar‘s notice on Woman’s rape case
While taking notice of the incident, Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar directed RPO Sheikhupura to arrest the suspects as soon as possible.
The incident comes after the Lahore motorway gang-rape case caused widespread anger and condemnation last month.
The police said that two armed men had raped a woman stranded together with her children on the motorway.
Afterward, they robbed her cash and other valuables.
The woman, a resident of Gujranwala, was on her way back to the town from Lahore’s ring road at 1:30 am on Tuesday night.
When her car ran out of petrol near Gujjarpura around an hour later.
The woman had waited for her husband and phoned a relative for help, who advised her to call the Motorway Police.
She subsequently called the Motorway Police’s 130 emergency helpline for assistance.
But was told by the operator that she couldn’t be provided help because the emergency beat had not been assigned to anyone.
