According to the details mentioned in the sketch profile, the suspect was five feet and 10 inches tall and, had a dusky complexion. The suspect’s age was around 35 years.

A first information report (FIR) had been filed hours after they raped the woman “at gunpoint”, under Section 376 (punishment for rape) at Margalla police station, Islamabad at 11:40 pm on Thursday.

According to police spokesperson Jawad Taqi, the sketch has been prepared with the help of the details provided by the victim and it would be matched with the CCTV footage of the park premises.

Islamabad Capital Police in a statement issued on Saturday night stated: “Special Unit Against Gender Violence is investigating the matter under the leadership of City Police Officer Sohail Zafar Chattha”.

“People and administration present in the park at the time of the incident are being questioned. DNA tests of the suspected people related to the case are being conducted as well,” it added.

“Evidence is being collected based on the cameras and intelligence [details]. Soon, the suspects would be arrested and reach their end.”

 

The victim in the FIR filed, stated that she had gone to the F-9 Park at about 8 pm on Thursday along with her male colleague, Amjad, when “two men stopped [us] at gunpoint and took them towards a jungle”.

“The victim then offered the suspect men to take any belongings if they wanted but they beat her so that she should not make a sound and separated her from her colleague,” the FIR stated.

“When one of the men asked what her relationship with the colleague was, she answered in a loud voice, upon which he slapped her and threatened that he would bring six to seven more people and you have no inkling of what they would do with you,” the FIR stated.

The victim added that the man said he would body-search her, to which she replied “go ahead, I don’t have a single penny”.

The women’s statement added that the suspect then ordered the victim to “be quiet, shook my hair aggressively, shoved me to the ground and committed a vile act”.

The armed man hit her leg with the gun when she tried to grab it and threw her clothes at a distance so she could not run away, the victim told.

The victim added the other man, who was called by the first suspect and looked not of much age, committed the same “wrong act” even though she had pleaded with him not to and had offered money.

Afterwards, the culprit asked the victim about what she does for a living and told her to “not come to the park at this time”, the FIR stated.

FIR stated that the suspects “returned everything and even gave them an Rs1,000 note to not tell anyone anything”.

“They then asked us to sit down and themselves ran away towards the jungle,” the FIR added.
