Teenage boy’s eyes gouged out, genitals severed, in the name of honor

A teenage boy was brutally tortured in the name of honor by a group of five people in Raiwind. However, the incident made waves just recently because the victim’s family staged a demonstration against the alleged backing of the suspects by a parliamentarian and his aides.

According to the details of the incident provided, the victim-14-year-old Aish, was a student of grade nine and he was allegedly having an affair with one of the suspect’s sisters.

A resident of Rangeelpur village of Sundar area, the boy’s father, Javed said the prime suspect, Hanif and his accomplices Amir, Ashfaq Azam and Waqar had suspicion that his son had relations with his (Hanif’s) daughter.

The five suspects kidnapped Aish from his school and took him to a deserted place near River Ravi where they first used a pick to insert into the victim’s eyes and later chopped of his penis.

Aish was later handed back to his family to show how he had been taught a lesson. He was immediately taken to the hospital where doctors treated him.

The victim’s father, Javed, told reporters, “After three-week treatment, the doctors discharged him saying he will have to live with it for the rest of his life”.

After the family lodged a complaint against the criminals, all of them were arrested. Of them, three were on judicial remand.

Javed further said that later the suspects also kidnapped his elder son in order to exert the family to withdraw the case, but thankfully the police safely retrieved him.

Javed also alleges that the suspects are being backed by a local parliamentarian due to which the police are reluctant to do anything about two of the absconders.
