Motorway gang-rape case: Conflicting eye-witnesses' accounts confuse police

LAHORE: Police on Friday remained confused amid differing accounts of the Lahore motorway gang rape incident from the complainant and the Dolphin Force cop, ARY NEWS reported.

According to details, the police have yet to ascertain as to who reached the incident site initially as FIR in the case claimed that the complainant Sardar Shahzad and Junaid reached the link road where the woman was gang-raped at first.

However, the Dolphin Force’s cop shared an entirely conflicting account of the incident as he claimed that they were the first to approach the woman. “Dolphin Force’s personnel brought the woman to her car from the bushes,” he narrated the incident.

Meanwhile, it emerged that the woman provided a fake name and national identity card (NIC) number in the medical examination report while the complainant also provided his wrong address besides also switching off his cell phone soon after the registration of the case.

He also expressed his ignorance regarding the case before switching his mobile phone off.
