LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has demanded arrest of culprits involved in the Lahore gang-rape incident within 48 hours.

The JI ameer while condemning the incident of gang rape of a woman on the Lahore Motorway said that the accused involved in the incident do not deserve any concession.

He said that even the highways are not safe now. The Punjab government should arrest the culprits within 48 hours, if the culprits are not arrested within 48 hours, then the next course of action will be announced, he warned.

The accused also robbed the woman of valuables and cash.

The woman had called the motorway police but they allegedly said that no one was on emergency duty.
