Lahore: A top leader of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz or the PML-N party, who surrendered before authorities for allegedly gang-raping a 15-year-old girl along with his accomplices at a hotel, was today sent to three-day police remand.
Mian Adnan, PML-N's Punjab Youth Wing additional secretary general and personal staff officer of provincial Sports and Education Minister Rana Mashhood Ahmed, and seven others allegedly gang-raped a Class tenth student in a hotel on the Mall Road on Friday.
"We have arrested Adnan. The other seven are already in the police custody," Deputy Inspector General Haider Ashraf told reporters. "Today we produced all eight suspects before a district and sessions court and got a three-day physical remand," he said.
"In the hotel, Adnan and his accomplices raped her and fled after committing the crime," the source added.
The girl has told the police that Mr Adnan abducted her from near her house in Sabzazar Housing Colony and drugged her before taking her to the hotel. She said the accused present in the room tortured her when she resisted their attempts to rape her.
The First Information Report (FIR) was initially registered against the suspects under sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Pakistan Penal Code. Police have now also added abduction to the list of charges against the eight accused.
