The most recent development came a week after two men sexually assaulted a lady in a shocking episode that stunned the South Asian nation, which is seeing an increase in sexual violence. Two armed men are accused of raping a woman under the influence of her own gun Thursday night in the F-9 Park neighbourhood. The incident sparked indignation across social media.

According to the FIR filed at the Margalla police station, the victim was walking in the park with a friend when two guys separated them and attacked her when she put up a fight. They forced the victim, a Mian Channun resident, into the woods before overpowering her.
