The Journey and Detention at Angro Dherai

The victim, a resident of Peshawar, was visiting the scenic region alongside her husband. Based on details highlighted by aol.co.uk via The Express Tribune, the pair were heading back from the picturesque Bahrain area when a pair of officers intercepted their transport at Angro Dherai. Under the guise of conducting an inquiry, the law enforcement personnel reportedly made contact with them prior to escorting them to a lodging situated in the Faza Gat sector.

The husband was locked in a separate room while the two officers allegedly raped the woman one after the other. The suspects also threatened to kill the woman if she reported what had happened.

Following the assault, the victim lodged a formal complaint at Rahimabad police station. Swat District Police Officer Umar Khan ordered an immediate investigation into the incident. Police used CCTV footage to trace and identify the two suspects before placing them under arrest.
