Lahore police precinct suspends 78 officers after alleged rape of 20‑year‑old woman with intellectual disabilities.

A Lahore police precinct has suspended every officer and staff member after a 20‑year‑old woman with intellectual disabilities said she was raped there. She alleges that an assistant sub‑inspector detained her and moved her to Ghaziabad police station, where the assault allegedly occurred in a second‑floor room. Her family reported that she disappeared on the street, later returned home in tears, and told them she had been sexually assaulted at the station. The action is one of the largest disciplinary measures in Pakistan’s police history, with authorities citing a failure to prevent and report wrongdoing.
