LAHORE: A judicial magistrate on Monday handed over three more suspects to police on a five-day physical remand in the case of alleged abduction and sexual assault of two foreign women in Lahore’s Defence area.
A day earlier, police officials investigating the case told Dawn that all eight suspects nominated over the alleged abduction and sexual assault of the two women, including two high-profile individuals, had been arrested. The two foreign nationals departed Pakistan on July 3 after recovery.
The three suspects in question were produced before the magistrate at the Cantonment Courts on Monday. They were stated to be private security guards and servants of the prime suspects previously arrested by police.
During the hearing, a public prosecutor asked the court to grant the police custody of the suspects for 14 days. He said that weapons allegedly used in the offence were yet to be recovered from the suspects.
