Lahore police have arrested a man accused of trying to assault a seven-year-old girl in Lahore.

A team led by ASP Defense Bareera, along with SHO Factory Area Ashfaq Khan, carried out the operation. The ASP confirmed that the suspect, identified as Rizwan, is in custody for the attempted assault.

The suspect entered the child’s home and tried to lure her away. The girl’s father, Ehsan Ali, filed a complaint immediately after the incident, and the police registered a case against Rizwan.

Acting SP Cantt Raheela Iqbal praised the response of SHO Factory Area Ashfaq Khan and the police team. She said, “Individuals involved in the sexual exploitation of women and children will face the full force of the law and be brought to justice.”

A few days ago in another incident, police in the Hadyara area arrested another suspect accused of attempting to assault an 11-year-old girl. 

On the instructions of SP Cantt Akhlaq Ullah Tarar, SHO Hadyara Shuja Ullah and his team acted promptly to detain the suspect, identified as Imran.

SP Cantt Tarar said the girl had gone out to deliver food when the suspect allegedly tried to lure her with the intention of assaulting her. The girl’s mother filed a complaint, and authorities registered a case against Imran.
