Four men were taken into custody and one remains at large in connection with the alleged assault of Dutch and Venezuelan nationals in Lahore; reports differ on the total number of suspects.
A relative of Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar was arrested in Lahore in connection with the alleged gang rape of two foreign women. Four men have been arrested while one is absconding, according to reports from Indian and other outlets.
The victims, identified as citizens of the Netherlands and Venezuela, met the main accused, Muhammad Raza Dar, during a cryptocurrency venture in Singapore. Times of India reported that the two women had arrived in Pakistan for business purposes.
Accounts of the total number of suspects differ. Dawn reported that all eight suspects are behind bars, while Indian and other sources said that only four men have been arrested and one is still at large. Dawn also stated that the “big boss” was caught in an injured condition after jumping off the second storey of a villa during a raid.
Police said all suspects will be treated like criminals and vowed “no fear or favour” in the case, according to Dawn. Hindustan Times reported that Senator Faisal Vawda demanded Ishaq Dar’s resignation over the alleged involvement of his grandson. Dawn added that the two foreign women departed the country on July 3.
