The court has rejected the bail application of accused on the basis of non-bail able offense which the couple committed. The young couple has already confessed their crime, the court remarked.

The city police arrested a married couple on the suspicion of kidnapping, raping and filming college and university girls and recording their crimes in camera and sharing the objectionable videos online to a sex racket abroad in order to make money.

Young couple threatened the victim of dire consequences if she decided to approach authorities. According to the FIR, the man dropped her at Tipu Road at late night.

The student who was raped by a young couple has already recorded her statement under Section 164 CrPc in the court of Duty Judge, Rawalpindi Asif Iqbal. The victim girl recorded her statement in the presence of the couple involved in trapping minor and young girls from different localities into sex scandals.
