The deceased’s mother had filed a complaint accusing Sabir, Nasir, and Nazir of abducting and gang-raping her daughter.
As per the police complaint, the accused had kidnapped the girl when she had gone to check on her family’s cattle at 8 pm on Saturday. She was reportedly taken to an isolated area on the outskirts of the village and gang-raped by the accused.
