Lahore Police under fire for ‘pushing’ Call Centre Gang-Rape survivor to ‘settle’ case (EXCLUSIVE)

A 17-year-old girl in Lahore, Pakistan, was allegedly gang-raped by three men at her workplace, Zainab Tower, where she earned Rs 38,000 monthly to support her family. After the horrific incident, Lahore Police are accused of pressuring the traumatized survivor to "settle" the case, stating the accused would be released regardless. Further compounding the victim's distress and violating Pakistan’s Anti-Rape Act, the police publicly disclosed her full name, identity, and address in the First Information Report (FIR). This incident has ignited public fury and reignited concerns over systemic police failures, victim-blaming culture, and the consistent lack of women's safety under Punjab's administration, drawing parallels to past high-profile cases.
