Woman gang raped by seven during house robbery in Pakistan

RAWALPINDI: A woman allegedly gang raped by seven suspects during a house robbery in Rawalpindi on Wednesday.

The alleged victim was alone at home as her husband had left for his native village in Kasur when the suspects barged into her house in guise of “security officials”, read a complaint registered at Rawat police station.

The alleged robbers locked the gate from inside and snatched mobile phone from the woman, the complaint said, adding that they proceeded to lock her up in her own bedroom and all of them sexually assaulted her one after another.

The dacoits took away gold jewellery, two LED TV sets and Rs177,000 in cash along with them. They also threatened the victim of dire consequences if she opened up about the whole episode to anyone.

Shocked with fear, the victim later left for her native village owing to security concerns.
