PTI MNA accuses party's Ali Gandapur of facilitating suspects in DI Khan girl’s stripping case

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MNA Dawar Khan Kundi has accused PTI leader and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Minister Ali Amin Gandapur of facilitating eight people accused of involvement in the alleged stripping and parading naked of a teenage girl in Dera Ismail Khan earlier this month.
Initially, the victim’s family had alleged that the accused had stripped the girl and paraded her naked in the Garahmat village in Daraban tehsil on Oct 27. Later, they claimed that she was taken to the residence of one Sanaullah where her clothes were torn off and she was beaten and kept in illegal confinement.

The victim claimed that she had received bruises on her arm and knee, and that she was dragged by the suspects at gunpoint inside the house.

According to unconfirmed reports, the victim’s family was under pressure to retract their earlier statement.

Interestingly, the Chaudwan police station registered two FIRs on Oct 27. First, the police registered an FIR on complaint of one of the female members of the family of the accused, while another FIR was later registered on the complaint of the victim (name withheld).

Eight of the nine people involved have been arrested, along with two 'facilitators' of the main accused. The prime accused, however, remains missing.
