Two men have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a suspected sexual assault of a Sikh teenage girl inside an ambulance in Pakistan's Punjab province, Dawn newspaper reported on Monday.
The 15-year-old girl, said to be mentally unstable, had gone missing at midnight on Saturday from her home in Nankana Sahib city, some 80 km from Lahore, the police said.
