Pakistan'da Yabancı Kadınlara Kaçırma ve Milyon Dolarlık Şantaj

Summary · AI generated

Pakistan'ın Lahor kentinde iki yabancı kadın, yargı önünde verdikleri ifadede günlerce süren kaçırılma, fiziksel saldırı, cinsel istismar ve milyon dolarlık şantaj iddialarını anlattı. Kadınların ifadeleri perşembe günü alınırken, polis aynı gün beş şüpheli hakkında adam kaçırma ve cinsel saldırı suçlamasıyla dava açtı. Olay cumartesi günü basına yansıdı. Yabancı uyruklulara yönelik bu tür ciddi suçlamalar, Pakistan'ın turizm ve yabancı yatırımcı güvenliği açısından olumsuz bir tablo çiziyor. Özellikle şantaj ve cinsel şiddet unsurları, ülkenin hukuk sisteminin yabancı ziyaretçileri koruma kapasitesiyle ilgili soru işaretlerine yol açabilir. Yetkililerin hızlı soruşturma başlatması olumlu bir adım olsa da, iddiaların ağırlığı diplomatik tepkilere ve uluslararası seyahat uyarılarına neden olabilir. Olayın ekonomik boyutu da dikkat çekici; zira bir milyon dolarlık gasp girişimi, organize suç veya hedefli saldırı olasılığını akla getiriyor. Soruşturmanın seyri, Pakistan'ın bu tür olaylara yanıtının ciddiyetini ve yabancı mağdurlar için adaleti sağlama kararlılığını gösterecek.

    Two foreign women detail multi-day ordeal of alleged kidnapping, extortion, assault during Pakistan visit

    Islamabad, Pakistan

    LAHORE: In a testimony recorded before a judicial magistrate at cantonment courts, two foreign women detailed a multi-day ordeal involving their alleged kidnapping, million-dollar extortion, physical assault and sexual abuse, it emerged on Saturday. The two foreigners recorded their statements on Thursday, the same day police booked five suspects over alleged abduction and sexual assault after the two women were rescued. Four of the suspects, including a close relative of a senior political personality, were arrested and later sent on a five-day physical remand. The complainant-victim, a citizen of the Netherlands, provided her voluntary statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) following an investigation registered under a first information report (FIR) filed at the Defence C Police Station. The charges include severe offences under sections 375-A (rape) and 365-A (kidnapping for extortion) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). According to the victim’s sworn statement, she and her friend, who is a Venezuelan citizen, arrived in Pakistan on June 26, 2026 at the invitation of a local business partner whom they said they had originally met in Singapore in October 2025. The primary suspect, who claimed to be well-connected to influential government figures, arranged their visas under the guise of setting up meetings with high-profile investors for the victim’s company, the Dutch woman said. After spending three days at a hotel in Islamabad — during which they made sightseeing trips to Nathia Gali and attended business presentations — the group travelled to Lahore by car on the afternoon of June 29. The suspect allegedly lured the victim and her companion to a modern house in Lahore under the pretext of celebrating a relative’s birthday. However, upon entering the residence, they found it empty. Within 15 minutes, four men armed with firearms and ropes stormed the premises. The captors immediately tied the victims’ hands behind their backs and subjected both women to physical assault, the complainant alleged. While the primary suspect initially acted as a fellow victim to mask his complicity, it later became evident he was working in tandem with the armed group, she further claimed. She alleged that the captors demanded exorbitant ransom amounts, starting at $2 million, threatening to kill the women and sell their organs if they did not comply. The victims were separated, the complainant said, recalling she was held downstairs under armed guard while her companion was kept upstairs. During the night, she said, the prime suspect and an accomplice referred to as “the boss” forcibly took the victim’s phone and electronically transferred $17,000 in cryptocurrency from her accounts. The woman said she was repeatedly coerced into sending frantic voice notes to her family and friends begging for money. However, she managed to slip a pre-established distress code word—“CARLITOS”— into her messages, prompting her family in Europe to immediately alert international and local law enforcement authorities. On June 30, she said, an armed assailant dressed in a black local suit sexually assaulted her in the bedroom. On July 1, the key suspect drove the women away, claiming he was taking them to the airport, she said. However, tracking the route on a hidden mobile phone, the Dutch woman said she realised he was deliberately lying and stalling, driving slowly while communicating suspiciously with “the boss”. Fearing they were being driven to another secondary location, the women began screaming for him to stop. Seizing a moment of chaos when their vehicle slightly collided with a car ahead, the women jumped out of the moving vehicle and ran screaming into a nearby mechanic’s shop for safety. A local traffic police officer spotted the women and immediately summoned emergency backup, the Netherlands citizen said. Suffering from severe trauma, the women initially panicked and fled the first police response vehicle out of fear. However, senior police officials arrived shortly after alongside a female officer, successfully calming the victims and presenting evidence that law enforcement had actively been tracking their kidnapping case for the past 48 hours. The victims were safely escorted to the police station, where their official statements were secured. Following the victim’s explicit confirmation that she gave her statement voluntarily and without outside coercion, the magistrate formally sealed the testimony to proceed with aggressive legal action against the perpetrators. The other victim woman, a citizen of Venezuela, also recorded a separate testimony, which was similar to the Dutch woman’s and endorsed her version.

    Foreigner's abduction, sexual assault case: Lahore police get custody of 3 more suspects for 5 days

    Pakistan

    LAHORE: A judicial magistrate on Monday handed over three more suspects to police on a five-day physical remand in the case of alleged abduction and sexual assault of two foreign women in Lahore’s Defence area. A day earlier, police officials investigating the case told Dawn that all eight suspects nominated over the alleged abduction and sexual assault of the two women, including two high-profile individuals, had been arrested. The two foreign nationals departed Pakistan on July 3 after recovery. The three suspects in question were produced before the magistrate at the Cantonment Courts on Monday. They were stated to be private security guards and servants of the prime suspects previously arrested by police. During the hearing, a public prosecutor asked the court to grant the police custody of the suspect for 14 days. He said that weapons allegedly used in the offence were yet to be recovered from the suspects. The prosecutor also informed the court that medical tests were required to determine the ages of the suspects as part of the investigation. Before announcing its decision, the magistrate asked the suspects whether they wished to make any statement. The suspects, however, said they did not want to say anything. The magistrate also asked whether the suspects had legal counsel. The suspects responded that no lawyer was appearing on their behalf. After hearing the prosecution’s arguments, the magistrate gave police custody of the suspects for five days for further investigation. Defence C police had registered the case on charges of abduction and sexual assault of two foreign women. Four suspects, including a relative of a senior political figure, are currently in police custody till July 8. Meanwhile, a sessions court on Monday granted pre-arrest bail to a station house officer (SHO) over a case registered against him for allegedly barging into the official residence of a judicial magistrate to get the statements of the two foreign nationals recorded. Mustafabad police had registered a case against SHO Faryad and other policemen of the Defence C police station. SHO Faryad appeared before the court on Monday, which granted him bail till July 10. The police officials were accused of entering the official residence of Judicial Magistrate Azhar Mehmood by force and pressuring him to talk to Lahore Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Operations Faisal Kamran on the phone. A day earlier, the DIG operations had apologised to the judiciary for the incident, but defended the move, saying that “if that had not happened, our media and international forums would have raised questions over our legal system”.
