Islamabad, July 3 (EFE).- Pakistani police have rescued two foreign women who were allegedly kidnapped and held against their will in the eastern city of Lahore, arresting four suspects after one victim’s father alerted authorities from abroad, officials said on Friday.
The women told investigators that they had been repeatedly sexually assaulted while in captivity, police sources told EFE.
Diplomatic sources told EFE that the victims were of Venezuelan and Dutch origin.
Earlier, investigating officer Abdul Rehman had told EFE the rescued women were from Spain and the Netherlands even as several Pakistani media outlets identified one of the victims as Venezuelan.
According to Rehman, the father of the woman identified as Spanish contacted Spain’s emergency services after his daughter told him she had been kidnapped and that her captors were demanding a ransom of $1.5 million.
