Foreign women rape case: Lahore court sends four accused on 14-day judicial remand <\/p>\n

\n
\n LAHORE: <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Lahore magisterial court on Friday sent four suspects, including Raza Dar, a close relative of a senior political figure, on a 14-day judicial remand in connection with the alleged abduction and molestation of two foreign women.<\/p>\n

On July 2, police rescued <\/a>two foreign women –\u00a0one Dutch and one Venezuelan –\u00a0after receiving an emergency complaint, arrested four suspects and launched an investigation into allegations of abduction and sexual assault.<\/p>\n

A first information report (FIR) was subsequently registered at the Defence C Police Station under Sections 365A (kidnapping) and 375A (rape) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) on the complaint of one of the victims.<\/p>\n

After the expiry of the four-day physical remand granted on July 13, police produced the suspects –\u00a0Sajid, Sikandar, Hassan and Raza Dar –\u00a0before the court.<\/p>\n

During the proceedings, the investigating officer\u00a0submitted a progress report and requested that the suspects be sent on judicial remand.<\/p>\n

Judicial Magistrate Azhar Mahmood accepted the request and remanded the four accused in judicial custody for 14 days.<\/p>\n

The magistrate observed that only one suspect had been nominated in the FIR, while the remaining accused were arrested after being identified by the victims.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, the state prosecutor opposed a plea by the counsel for one of the suspects seeking his client’s discharge from the case, arguing that the accused was involved in destroying evidence and abetting the alleged crime.<\/p>\n

Case background<\/strong><\/p>\n

A case was registered <\/a>by the Lahore police earlier this month, after two foreign women accused the suspects of kidnapping and raping them. Police apprehended the suspects on July 2 and produced them before the magisterial court.<\/p>\n

Police initially secured a five-day physical remand<\/a> of the four suspects on July 3, which was extended for five days on July 8 and extended a second time on July 13 for four days. After the expiration of the last physical remand, the accused were produced before the court on July 17 (today).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
