Police Arrest 7 Suspects in Gang Rape of Woman
From Times Wire Reports
Seven men were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and gang-raping a married woman in eastern Pakistan in retaliation for her cousin’s affair with a daughter of one of the suspects, a police official said.
The attack occurred last week in the town of Chiniot, area police official Mahar Mumtaz said.
The case bears similarities to that of Mukhtaran Mai, who last week won an appeal overturning the acquittals of 13 men in her 2002 gang rape.
