A man allegedly attempted to rape a woman in Mahodand, Swat. As per a Twitter thread shared by Zaki Khalid, a couple from Lahore went for a camping trip on June 18, with their colleagues.
They booked camps from a hotel named “Khan Jee” at Mahodand lake. However, the hotel owner delayed installing the camps and after three hours, set up the camp far away from the decided location.
The couple initially refused to go to the camp but because they had no other option available, they went to the newly installed camp.
At night, the woman heard unzipping of their camp when a man entered their camp. She told the man to take the money, thinking he was there for mugging, but he asked her to stay quiet. Her husband woke up and found the man over his wife. He attacked the man to save his wife and the man eventually left.
Her husband’s hand got injured during the fight and they both went outside the camp shouting for help. However, the owner of the hotel who was standing at a distance ignored them. After a few minutes, people from surrounding areas came, and one of them was the man who attacked the couple.
The couple then went to Kalam for treatment. The people from Mahodand followed them to Kalam.
A first information report (FIR) has been lodged against the accused. Two people, including the owner of the hotel ,have been arrested and the Khan Jee hotel has been sealed by the local authorities. All the owners of hotels and tent/camp facilities have been ordered to make necessary entries of their staff with the concerned police stations as well as of tourists at their hotels/facilities.
The case is still under investigation.
