17-year-old boy assaulted

LAHORE:A shocking case of sexual assault has emerged from Sherakot, where a 17-year-old boy was allegedly drugged and abused by a group of suspects who later circulated a video of the crime on social media.

According to police, the main accused, Imran, lured the victim to his home under false pretenses, administered an intoxicating substance, and then sexually assaulted him. Two of Imran’s accomplices, Fizan and Shabbir, recorded the assault and uploaded the video online, leading to public outrage. The victim’s uncle filed a complaint with the police, prompting authorities to register a case and arrest Fizan and Shabbir. However, the primary suspect, Imran, managed to obtain interim pre-arrest bail before police could detain him.
