Authorities in Lahore are investigating serious allegations of abduction, torture, and sexual assault involving two foreign women, after parts of a magistrate-recorded statement from one of the complainants surfaced in media reports.
The case involves allegations made by foreign national Astrid Gabriela Robinson, a resident of Spain, who is among the complainants in the ongoing investigation. According to the statement, the women reported that they were subjected to violence and intimidation during an incident that occurred inside a residential setting.
In her recorded statement, the complainant said armed individuals entered the premises during the night and restrained those present. She alleged that they were subjected to physical assault and threats while being questioned about money and electronic devices. She further stated that another individual was brought to the location later, and both women were repeatedly interrogated.
The statement also alleges that the victims were threatened with death if money was not handed over. It further claims that they were moved within the building during the incident and subjected to continued intimidation.
The complainant has alleged that she and the other woman were assaulted during the ordeal. However, investigators have not publicly confirmed the detailed circumstances, and authorities are examining multiple aspects of the case as part of an ongoing inquiry.
Police officials say the investigation is continuing and evidence is being reviewed in line with legal procedures. No formal detailed response from the accused parties has been released so far.
Further developments are expected as the case progresses in court.
