Islamabad police gunned down two suspects of F9 park rape case

According to the police, suspects were wanted in multiple cases of street crimes and over 60 cases were registered against them.

The attackers were shifted to a hospital, but could not survive, the Islamabad police said, not clarifying how the suspects were injured.

The case:

On February 2, a young woman was allegedly gang-raped by two armed men at Fatima Jinnah Park in Islamabad. According to the victim, she was visiting the Fatima Jinnah Pak also known as F-9 Park along with a friend when she was raped by the suspects at gunpoint.

The woman and a colleague were at the park when two armed suspects showed up and held them hostage and moved them to a forested area of the park.

The two armed men forced the woman and her colleague into nearby bushes at gunpoint before separating them. The armed men then physically assaulted the woman when she pleaded and asked them to let her go.

She even offered money to them to let her go but they didn’t relent, according to the FIR lodged by the victim at the Margala Police Station.

The attackers even threatened the woman that they would call more ‘friends’ to attack her if she did not stop raising her voice.

The victim tried to run away but her attempts were foiled by the suspects, the FIR said.

After raping her, the suspects returned all the things belonging to the victim and her colleague and even offered them a 1,000 to keep quiet about the incident.

According to the FIR, the alleged rapists told the victim that she should not have been in the park at that time of the night.
