A 12-year-old child was allegedly raped in Islamabad’s F-9 park on Wednesday. The child’s mother has blamed the brother of the child’s friend for the crime.

The child’s mother has filed a complaint in Margalla Police Station, alleging that the child was taken out of her house in F-11/1 by one of her friends at around 6:30 pm.

However, the child returned home crying at 11 pm and told the mother that her friend’s brother had sat her on his motorcycle, taken her to F-9 park and sexually assaulted her.

The incident allegedly occurred on March 16 but was reported to the police on March 18.

The FIR has named both the girl’s friend and her brother.

The mother told police that she is divorced and lives alone with her daughter and makes ends meet by working in people’s houses as a maid.

The FIR noted that the child had been sent to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences for a check up.

The incident is not the first of its kind in the F-9 park. A woman had been raped at the same place in February last year after which the police had shot the crime’s suspects in an encounter.
