Matchmaker woman gang-raped in Sahiwal

SAHIWAL: A village matchmaker was allegedly gang-raped by two persons near village 112/7-R on Sunday evening.

Chichawatni Saddar police registered a case against a resident of the same village and his unidentified accomplice under Section 375-A of the PPC, following a complaint by the alleged survivor.

Police arrested the main suspect.

The woman told the police she frequently travels between villages for matchmaking. She was returning from Shah Kot by a bus and later continued on foot to her village when the suspects took her to a nearby house where she was gang-raped.

Despite her screams for help, the house’s remote location prevented anyone from hearing her.

Police have also ordered a medical examination of the woman.
