In Chak 17/EB of tehsil Arifwala, two unidentified armed suspects gang-raped a woman farm worker in front of her husband during a robbery.
Aslam, a farmer, lived at his farmhouse with his wife and two children. Three of his farm workers and their families also resided on the property, sleeping in the cattle shed.
On the night between Wednesday and Thursday, two armed robbers woke up the workers first and then Aslam’s family. They seized mobile phones and locked all the men, women, and children in one of the rooms.
The suspects took a worker’s wife, pretending she would lead them to cash and other valuables. When she resisted, they tortured her and locked her in another room.
After robbing the farmhouse, the suspects gang-raped the worker’s wife and forced her husband to watch.
The robbers escaped with 50,000 in cash, a motorcycle, and two DAP fertilizer bags. They discarded the mobile phones near the farmhouse.
