Gang-rape victim in critical condition after assault
A 22-year-old has been left in critical condition at the District Headquarters Teaching Hospital after being gang-raped by five men, a leading English daily has reported.
The young girl had been lured by the main suspect on the pretext of providing her a job outside the country.
The girl's bones were broken during the assault and she also suffered internal injuries. Doctors have now referred her to Lahore for further treatment.
The victim's father told the police that the suspects fled from the scene when they found out that her condition was unstable. They also threatened to kill him if he went to the police.
A senior police officer took notice of the case and immediately began a search for the suspects.
