Main suspect in Faisalabad motorway gang-rape case arrested

FAISALABAD: By apprehending the primary suspect in the horrifying crime, the police have made significant strides in the recent suspected gang rape of a woman close to the Faisalabad motorway.

On the outskirts of Faisalabad, a woman was allegedly gang-raped in front of her husband. Three more suspects are currently being held by the police.

According to the police, the victim had undergone a medical checkup, and the crime site had been geo-fenced. The forensic report is now awaited by authorities.
The arrest of the main suspect was confirmed by law enforcement, and more investigations were being conducted to apprehend the other suspects in this horrible act.

Police officials claim that the frightening incident happened three days ago when armed robbers stopped a couple traveling on the freeway. The incident was made public on Thursday.

The couple was riding a motorcycle home from Agriculture University Hostel on March 25, 2025, when the crime reportedly occurred at Chak No 62 JB Channan.

Two armed attackers stopped the pair at a motorway bridge and threatened them with guns, according to the first information report (FIR).
After stealing the woman’s identity card, a cell phone, and Rs 800 in cash, they led the husband to a nearby sugarcane field and bound him.

One of the suspects then contacted a third accomplice on a motorcycle while they brought the victim to the same field. The third suspect showed up at the scene and was characterized as tall and well-built.

A search operation was started after a case was filed against unnamed defendants on charges of robbery and sexual assault.

The husband of the rape victim reported the incident to the police the following day via the emergency helpline after first conducting his own search for the suspects in the case’s first information report (FIR).
Following the reporting of the crime, the victim underwent a medical examination, and DNA samples were sent for forensic investigation.

A similar method of operation is suggested by the fact that in August 2024, two armed robbers allegedly attacked a married woman in Sandal Bar, Faisalabad’s Chak No. 34 JB, after stealing money and cell phones from her husband.
