MUZZAFARABAD: The body of a 16-year old girl, who disappeared three weeks ago, was recovered from a stormwater drain early on Saturday in district Poonch of Azad Kashmir. According to the initial postmortem report, the 16-year-old was gang raped before being murdered. Upon receiving the body of the girl, family members of the victim staged a protest claiming that no action was taken by the area police despite complaints. In a similar case in Karachi, on March 11, a 16-year old girl’s case surfaced nearly 6 months after she was gang raped. The girl’s father, who filed the case said that a man called Pervez forcibly intoxicated his daughter and committed the crime of rape along with others in August 2017. It was also claimed that a case was not being filed as the suspect had links with police officials. The case was, however, filed on Saturday in Azizabad police station of the Metropolis.
