Nassebullah Khan allegedly raped Uzma Ayub a year ago, and reportedly served a security force before being caught.Peshawar High Court Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan had constituted a judicial committee a few days ago to probe the 18-hour disappearance of a newborn of rape victim Uzma Ayub, who is at the centre of a high-profile rape case involving senior Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police officials.The brief disappearance of the baby girl was seen as an attempt to remove the most crucial evidence to establish the rape charges against the accused police officials, as the DNA test of the baby was to be carried out.The victim gave birth to a baby girl who she said was a result of rape by Takht-e-Nasrati police station officials in Karak district. Justice Dost Muhammad Khan and Justice Seth Waqar Ahmed are hearing the case.
