Police are on the hunt for five accused of abducting a woman during a robbery and repeatedly raping her over the course of 4 days in Chiniot, Punjab on September 11.
According to reports, the victim was asleep with her children when the assailants burgled her home of gold and cash before kidnapping the woman as well. The suspects held her captive in an abandoned farmhouse where they repeatedly gang-raped her and circulated pictures on the internet. She was released after four days of torture.
Police registered a case on the complaint of the woman’s husband after media outcry, under section 496A of the Pakistan Penal Code (enticing or taking away or detaining with criminal intent a woman), and section 18 of the Motion Pictures Ordinance 1979.
However, the woman has chosen to live at a women’s shelter instead of returning home due to fears that she may be subjected to violence by her family for the honor.
