Raza Dar, seven others indicted in foreign women rape case

A sessions court in Lahore has indicted Raza Dar and seven others in a case involving the alleged kidnapping and rape of two foreign women.

Additional Sessions Judge Rafaqat Ali Gondal directed the prosecution to present its witnesses on December 10 for recording their statements.

According to the FIR registered at Defence C Police Station, the victims, from the Netherlands and Venezuela, arrived in Lahore on June 29, 2026, after Dar allegedly arranged their visas. They were reportedly taken to a residence in Y-Block, Defence, where they were held at gunpoint, sexually assaulted and subjected to physical violence.

The suspects allegedly demanded $1.5 million and threatened to kill the women if the ransom was not paid. The case came to light when one victim contacted her father in the Netherlands, who alerted Lahore Police through the 15 emergency helpline. Police subsequently rescued both women within hours.
