The two men involved in the kidnapping and gang rape of a 22-year-old girl in the Clifton area of Karachi have been identified as Mir Abdullah Khoso and Sardar Qadir Khan Khoso.

One of the aforementioned  individuals is a son of a former Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) parliamentarian. The two individuals have managed to get bail from the Baluchistan High Court.

 

Just when the country was reeling with the devastating news of the Lahore motorway incident, another shocking but similar incident took place in Karachi. On 21 September, a young girl was kidnapped at night and later dumped in the upmarket Clifton neighborhood. The girl was allegedly raped by two men.

Upon investigation, the police conducted several raids and established the identities of the suspects.

These two individuals are Mir Abdullah Khoso and Sardar Qadir Khan Khoso. The two have managed to evade police custody several times and have escaped to Quetta.

It is alleged that since one of the suspects is the son of a former PPP parliamentarian, the culprits have gotten themselves a pre-arrest bail from the Baluchistan High Court. The bail would expire after 13 October.

The Karachi police have stated that they would now submit an application to Baluchistan High Court to revoke the pre-arrest bail as they need statements from the suspect, which is mandatory for the investigation.

It remains to be seen if the police are able to apprehend these criminals and justice is served. Or whether the culprits will be able to flee the country.

Stay posted for more updates.
