KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, taking serious notice of the rape case of a 10-year-old flood-affected girl, has directed the police to arrest the culprits and take the remaining family members of the girl in protective care.

“This is totally unacceptable and cannot be forgiven, therefore I want the culprits behind the bars immediately,” Murad Shah told Additional Inspector General Karachi Javed Odho on the telephone.

The additional IG Karachi told the chief minister that the 10 years old girl and her six younger brothers and sisters were living with her mother in the vicinity of the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi. Originally, the family belongs to the Shikarpur district.

On Sunday night, two boys at around 11 am forcibly took her in their car and raped her, and then left her in the same vicinity at around 2.30 pm. When her mother noticed her daughter’s plight, she rushed to the Jinnah Post-graduate Medical Centre (JPMC) where she was still under treatment.
