Zainab, a 7-year-old girl was raped and killed in Kasur, Punjab after being abducted. Her parents were away for Umrah and she had been in custody of the kidnappers for several days. Her body was recovered from a roadside pile of trash and reports confirmed she was raped and killed.
The horrifying prospect of child abuse in Kasur entails a spine-chilling background. The area is a breeding ground for sexual predators and this was the 12th case registered. We have come across many such cases of child abuse where children less than 10 years of age have been the apparent victims. So far, no suspect has ever been caught and it directly hints to the fact that there’s a whole setup and a stronghold out there.
