The arrest of Abid, main accused of raping a woman on the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway, has become a ‘mission impossible’ for the Punjab Police.

It has been 20 days since the incident of rape on the motorway but the police have not been able to arrest the accused so far.

It may be recalled that on September 9, a woman from Gujranwala was on her way to Gujranwala from Lahore with her two children in her car at around 1.30 pm when her car ran out of petrol near Gujjarpura on Ring Road.

The woman was waiting for her relative meanwhile, she also called the motorway police for help but the motorway police allegedly said that no one was on emergency duty and Beat of Gujjarpura has not been allotted to anyone yet.
