In a disturbing incident, a 12-year-old boy in Rawalpindi Pakistan, was reportedly Raped by his cousin and the victim’s father used water pipe to beat his son to get the truth out of him.
According to a complaint filed with the Race Course police station, Bilal, the victim’s father, claimed that his son , a 7th-grade student, had been experiencing stomach pain for several days.
In his search for answers,
Bilal beat his son with water pipe, which made the boy admit that he had been raped by his cousin, Usman.
The victim said Raped happened in Nasir’s room , Bilal claimed he told Usman’s father, Ibrahim, about it. Instead of doing something, Ibrahim threatened Bilal and told him not to take the matter further, saying,
“Do what you have to do, but you can’t ruin anything for us.”
The police have registered a case against Usman, and an investigation is underway.
However, the incident raises disturbing questions about the safety and protection of children in Pakistan and the need for increased awareness and education about sexual abuse.
