According to reports, personnel from the Eagle Squad halted a couple during the early hours of Thursday. Following an episode of harassment targeting the newly married pair, the accused constables – identified as Asim, Soheb, and Shujaat Hussain – purportedly subjected the woman to a gang-rape at gunpoint.

Afterwards, they fled from the scene. The victim was immediately taken to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital in critical condition, where she is currently undergoing treatment.

The shockwaves from this incident prompted senior officials, including the SP City, to order the immediate arrest of the three officers. These personnel have also been suspended from their duties.

However, the victim’s family expresses frustration over the slow progress of legal proceedings, as no case has been officially registered against the accused individuals.
