SIALKOT: Just after a few days of crime against a girl student of Daska hitting the headlines, the plight of another abducted girl has surfaced after she has allegedly been kept in the house of ill fame for two weeks.
According to the FIR (No 365/2010) lodged at the Daska city police station by a girl from Fatehgarh (Sialkot), Sajid Masih and Illyas Butt, residents of Akbarabad, abducted her from near a local graveyard a month ago.
The abductors, she said, took her to Khwaja Shahid’s house at Daska’s Bhatti Colony where Sajid raped her at gunpoint. Later, both sold her to Shahid for Rs20,000.
The FIR (registered under sections 371-A, 371-B and 376 of PPC on Sunday) further revealed that Shahid and his wife, Shazia, forced the girl into prostitution for two weeks. Later, she contacted her family and informed them about the situation. She also told the police that she had been engaged to Muhammad Waqas.
When the family contacted Khwaja Shahid, the FIR said, he told them that he had bought the girl for Rs20,000 from Sajid and Illyas. The family paid the amount to Shahid and got the girl released.
Meanwhile, the grieved family said the suspects were at large because of their contacts with the influential people. They said the two perpetrators were threatening them with dire consequences. The girl, who is in her early 20s, has urged Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and senior officers to provide her security and ensure early arrest of the criminals.
District Police Officer Waqar Ahmad Chauhan told this correspondent that the Daska city police had arrested Sajid Masih and were investigating him.
