Three guys were taken into custody by the Bisham police on Sunday after they were allegedly trying to extort and sexually attack a college student in the Bisham tehsil’s Maira neighborhood.
Invoking sections 377 (unnatural offence), 511 (punishment for attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or for a shorter term), and 506/34 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Pakistan Penal Code, a first information report (FIR) about the incident was filed at police station Dandai in Bisham tehsil of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to the FIR, the victim had just completed his intermediate exams on Friday when the suspects—whom he had previously interacted with—came up to him.
The victim was allegedly tricked by the defendants into believing they were bringing him to a riverbank, where they attempted to molest him, but they were thwarted when the victim fought.
But, the suspects recorded the youngster while he was naked on camera and threatened to murder him if he revealed the experience.
The three people named in the FIR were taken into custody today, and more questioning is still taking place, according to Station House Officer (SHO) Dandai Muhammad Arif Khan.
On the day of the crime, the victim was sent, per the FIR, to the tehsil headquarters hospital in Bisham for a medical checkup.
