In addition, everyone visiting the park in the evening is advised to confine their excursions to well-lit areas and to dial 15 in case of emergency.
The perpetrators reportedly took the victim and her male companion to a neighboring thicket at gunpoint, isolated the woman, and demanded to see why they were in the park in the evening, as per the First Information Report (FIR). Before fleeing, the assailants warned the victim not to return to the park at night.
The matter is being investigated by the Islamabad police’s Gender Protection Unit, which is directed by CPO Operations, Sohail Zafar Chattha.
