LAHORE (Web Desk) – Body of a young girl was found in Lahore’s Islampura on Tuesday morning, Dunya News reported.
According to police, the unidentified body was found in Akram Park area of Islampura. The girl was allegedly raped and then tortured to death.
Police said torture marks are visible on girl’s body.
The body has been shifted to morgue for autopsy whereas police have launched investigation into the incident.
Police are inquiring locals to identify the girl.
Rape and other forms of sexual assault and domestic violence are widespread in deeply conservative Pakistan.
Pakistan’s criminal justice system has a very low conviction rate, in large part because police, prosecutors and judges are underequipped, undertrained, corrupt and beholden to the rich, powerful and politically connected in the districts where they serve.
