Rape Charges

According to the sources, the victim is a first-year student of MSCS at the National College of Business Administration & Economics (NCBAE) in Multan and was working at Pakistan Human Development Foundation (PHDF). It’s a local NGO run by the accused MPA.

She was taken to a certain location in the guise of work where Rehman filmed while allegedly raping her. What followed next was a series of blackmailing. He would threaten her with the rape video, saying he would release it on social media in order to force her into having intercourse with him. This went on for 11 months. After being sodomized by the assaulter, she eventually fell sick and was hospitalized.

It is being reported that the police allegedly came under political pressure and refused to lodge a complaint against Atta Ur Rehman even after being repeatedly approached by the victim.

She has attached medical records along with WhatsApp messages of the accused as pieces of evidence and presented them before the local magistrate. The court upon taking notice has ordered instant action to be taken over her complaint.

The sources also say that Atta Ur Rehman tried to bribe the victim with 70 million rupees in efforts to convince her to drop charges against him.

Blackmailing

Atta-ur-Rehman, a provincial lawmaker of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) from Multan division, has been accused of raping a 21-year-old female student for over 11 months and, subsequently, blackmailing her by threatening to release her rape video.

The 21-year-girl victim is a resident of Multan who has blamed the PML-N leader of raping her for “11 months”.

The victim said that she approached a police station against the politician but her “complaint was not heard”. Later, she presented her plea to a local magistrate who ordered Multan’s Nishter Hospital’s Medical Superintendent (MS) to perform a medical checkup.

“[Even] after the medical report confirmed the rape, police still did not register the case against the MPA,” the victim said.

On the other hand, Attaur Rehman has denied the allegations, dubbing the accusations as “false propaganda” against him
