KASUR: The driver of a school rickshaw allegedly attempted rape of a five-year-old child in the precincts of A-Division Police Station on Friday.
The suspect took the boy to a deserted place after picking from a private school. The father of the child reported the matter to police after the boy complained to his mother regarding the assault.
According to SHO Asif Khan, both the suspect and the child were from the same locality. He said the suspect was arrested but released as both the parties compounded in a non-compoundable caseunder sections 377 and 511 of PPC.
In several cases of sexual assault against the children that brought Kasur in the spotlight in the past, the suspects were released either through intervention of the influential people or mutual reconciliation. It has been suggested that police should be the complainant in such cases.
Inaseparatecase,residents of Kamal Chishti Mor locality captured an alleged child kidnapper and tortured him before handing him over to the Saddar police.
The suspect had picked two-year-old girl,identified as Kiran, when the locals saw him. When the suspect could not satisfy the people regarding his relationship with the child, they beat him black and blue. Later, police were called who arrested the suspect.
NAWAZ: Former PML-N MNA Rana Muhammad Hayat claimed that Deputy Commissioner Arshad Bhatti had offered him to arrange buses and vans for Nawaz Sharif`s rally at Minar-i-Pakistan but he (Hayat) rejected the offer.
A video went viral on Friday in which the former MNA was address-ing the party workers and villagers, asking them to ensure their presence at Minar-iPakistan on Saturday (today).
DC Bhatti, however, denied the allegations and told Dawn that he could not even imagine making the offer.
This is not for the first time that DC Bhatti faced allegations of showing a soft corner for the PML-N.
Some days back, Chaudhry Manzoor of the PPP along with other activists of political parties had accused the DC of favouring the PML-N parliamentarians. Correspondent
