Woman raped inside hospital’s x-ray room in Rawalpindi

Rawalpindi and Islamabad have been shaken by distressing rape cases that have highlighted the vulnerability of individuals, especially women and children, within public institutions.

In Rawalpindi, a mother of two fell victim to an alleged rape within the premises of the government-run Benazir Bhutto Hospital. The incident unfolded within the hospital’s x-ray room, raising concerns about security in what should be a safe environment. Swift action has been taken, with authorities registering a case and a suspect – a hospital employee – currently in police custody. The investigation is underway, and the main perpetrator is expected to be apprehended soon.

Details from the First Information Report (FIR) paint a disturbing picture, as the victim was allegedly blackmailed with compromising videos before the assault took place. The incident highlights the pressing need for enhanced security measures within public spaces and has sparked discussions about the safety of women within society.

Coincidentally, a separate case in Islamabad has revealed the horrifying discovery that an eight-year-old girl who was tragically murdered had also been subjected to rape. These incidents underscore the urgent need to address the issue of sexual violence and ensure the protection of vulnerable members of society.

As authorities work to uncover the truth and seek justice for the victims, there is a growing demand for comprehensive reforms and increased security measures to prevent such atrocities. The focus remains on creating a society where individuals can live without fear and where institutions prioritize the safety and well-being of all citizens.
