ASI suspended for rape of student

SARGODHA: An assistant sub-inspector (ASI), suspected of raping a student, was suspended after the victim’s medico-legal report confirmed the offence. The police have initiated departmental action against the arrested policeman who, with help from his private guard, raped a woman whose father was arrested by him in a drugs case.

According to the police, the district police officer (DPO) has formed a two-member investigation committee to probe the case with orders to complete its report in 24 hours. The development comes after a case against the cop was registered at the Kotmomin police station for allegedly raping the woman, who is a student. She said that her father had been arrested by the policeman in a drugs case.

The ASI’s private guard, the student added, had called her to acquit her father from the case. “The ASI and his private guard took me to a house in Muazzamabad Town,” she told Geo News. According to the victim’s father, she was left outside their house in a semi-conscious state in a car.
