RAWALPINDI, Nov 25 (APP):The Rawalpindi Police initiated legal proceedings after a video emerged on social media showing a girl being assaulted and having her hair forcibly cut, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
According to the girl’s initial statement circulating online, the incident of alleged torture in Rawalpindi and Islamabad occurred about one-and-a-half months ago but had not been reported to the police earlier.
City Police Officer (CPO) Syed Khalid Hamdani took notice of the video and directed an immediate inquiry. The spokesman said the Rawalpindi Police had established contact with the victim and, on her request, registered a case at the Naseerabad Police Station.
He added that three suspects had been taken into custody in light of her statement.
“Crimes involving violence, coercion or exploitation of women will not be tolerated under any circumstances,” CPO Hamdani said, vowing that all those involved would be arrested and brought to justice.
