LAHORE: Minister for Prisons Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan paid a surprise visit to the District Jail Muzaffargarh to investigate the alleged incident of rape of a juvenile prisoner.
He questioned the inmates in the children's barracks. Expressing his views on the occasion, Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan said that IG Prisons Punjab Mirza Shahid Saleem Baig and DIG DG Khan Region have denied already the incident in their preliminary investigation report, conducted on the instructions of Minister for Prisons Punjab. The investigation carried out by jail administration, medical officer of the said district jail and the medical examination of the boy at DHQ Hospital Muzaffargarh also did not prove any occurrence of alleged rape.
