Earlier in December last year, a woman had been raped during a robbery bid after a group of 10 men barged into her house in Islam Nagar, a locality in Samundri, Faisalabad.

One of the men of the muggers’ group had raped the woman upon robbery resistance. The robbers looted 11 tolas of gold ornaments, seven mobile phones, and 28,000 in cash and fled away easily.
