The Islamabad police despite registration of a First Information Report (FIR) almost a week ago is yet to arrest the suspect who allegedly raped a Sweden national working with the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).
The rape incident occurred on the night of June 6 while the case was registered on June 7 According to the FIR registered with the Aabpara Police, the Unicef official had joined the international organization in January this year and the man who allegedly raped her was the guard of a private security firm Harris Enterprises. He was deployed at her house located in G-6/4 three months back in March this year.
According to the FIR, the Unicef official alleged the security guard entered her bedroom at night while she was trying to sleep and pinning her on the bed sexually assaulted her. At first she could not recognize her tormentor due to darkness in the room.
Then she pleaded with him to let her switch on the bedroom light and go to the bathroom to wash blood from her mouth.
Upon switching on the light she recognized it was her security guard Muhammad Safeer. She ordered him to leave immediately but he was stronger than her and forced her to do what he wanted. At one moment, she feared he would kill her.
However, after repeated requests, he relented and allowed her to go to the bathroom but he followed her. There inside the bathroom when she was washing blood from her mouth and lips, he asked her not to tell anyone about the incident or he would lose his job. He also ‘promised’ to marry her.After convincing him to leave her alone in the bathroom, she locked the door from inside and waited until she realized he had gone. Then she rushed to the police station for lodging of an FIR and demanded action against the man.
