Accused of torturing girl, boy in Islamabad remanded in police custody for two days

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - A two-day physical remand has been granted to three accused for torturing a girl and a boy in Islamabad on Tuesday.

The police produced Usman Mirza, Hafiz Atta, and Farhan before Judicial Magistrate Waqar Gondal and requested their physical remand for investigation.

The court remanded three accused arrested for allegedly raping, assaulting and blackmailing a woman in Islamabad in police custody for two days. The court also directed the police to produce them before the court on completion of their physical remand along with a progress report.

The men were arrested last night after videos of the violence went viral on social media. The incident occurred two months back, when Usman allegedly along with his two other accomplices barged into an apartment in the E-11 sector of Islamabad and shot an obscene video of a girl.

The police took prompt action and arrested the suspects after the videos went viral on social media.

According to the text of the FIR, the incident took place in the apartments located in E-11 where five to six armed men kept both of them in custody and also tortured them. Police say the video was made four to five months ago.

On the other hand, DC Islamabad Hamza Shafqat says that the video is from a few months ago. "Please delete the video and do not share," he requested from the citizens.
