The teenage survivor of Monday’s gang rape in Mansehra has threatened to commit suicide if the perpetrators are not brought to justice.
She said her best friend Anum, who forced her to get into the car with the rapists, lost her mother three years ago and her father was bedridden with a bad back. Since Anum’s own family was unable to bear the cost of her education, Parveen’s family had been supporting Anum financially for the last two years, said the college student.
“This is how she decided to reward me, with an irremovable stigma, after trapping me for criminals who had destroyed the life of several innocent girls.
“I told her not to but she dragged me into the car. My trust in a friend destroyed my life.”
Weeping over the phone, Parveen claimed the accused rapists took advantage of the car’s tinted windows and loud music so no one could hear her screaming at the top of her lungs…. crying for help.
Answering a question, the victim said she vowed to continue her struggle till she “sees the culprits hanged”.
