Five-year-old girl raped by teenage neighbor in Jacobabad

Sexual assault incidents are getting very common in Pakistan and India but very little effort is made to curb such heinous incidents.

According to a recent tragic incident, a five-year-old girl was allegedly raped and tortured by her teenage neighbor in Jacobabad on Monday. The District Superintendent of Police Arbab Ali Soomro reported the incident to the press and told them that as soon as people informed the police about it, they rushed to the site.

He said that the police got reports of a small girl lying unconscious at an under-construction higher secondary school, located in Mubarakpur town in Jacobabad’s Thull district. When the police got there, they found a five-year-old girl lying there unconscious, and quickly rushed her to the Civil Hospital Jacobabad for treatment.

After receiving medical care, the girl regained consciousness and recorded statement with the police at the hospital in her parent’s presence. The girl alleged that she was sexually assaulted by her 16-year-old neighbor. She had gone outside to play with her friends when her neighbor lured her to one side and assaulted her.

When she initially tried to resist him, he hit her on her face causing severe injuries and torture marks. DSP Soomro said that under the directions of the senior superintendent police, multiple raids had been conducted and the accused was arrested. The teenager was then taken to an unknown place for further investigation which was currently underway.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has taken notice of the incident and sought a detailed report from deputy inspector general in Larkana.
