In a shocking incident, a mother of two was reportedly raped in the X-ray room of Benazir Bhutto Hospital, a government-run facility in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The police have registered a case under section 376 (punishment for rape) of the Pakistan Penal Code after the woman underwent a medical examination confirming the assault.
A police official, Javaid, stated that a thorough investigation is underway, considering all possible angles, and assured that the main culprit would soon be apprehended.
The victim, who is divorced with two children living with their father, stated in her complaint that she was in a relationship with the accused for three years. The accused, promising marriage, took advantage of her vulnerability and assaulted her in the X-ray room of the hospital.
This horrific incident sheds light on the vulnerability and threat that women continue to face in our society. It is crucial for authorities to take immediate action to ensure the safety of women and their rights. Such acts of violence must not go unpunished, and strict measures should be implemented to prevent such incidents in the future.
Our thoughts are with the victim and her family during this difficult time, and we hope that justice will be served swiftly.
