The woman reached Kashmore but two days later reported to Police that the suspect had raped her after she reached his residence, and he then handed over to another man living near the Sindh-Balochistan border. That man also allegedly raped the woman, reported Police.
She complained that the suspect has held her five-year-old daughter, and he would only let her go when she will bring him another woman. According to the woman, the suspect even gave her the expense to return to Karachi.
Kashmore Police then came up with a plan to catch the culprits. The ASI and his family then volunteered in the action.
