LAHORE: Khurram Shehzad Masih, a resident of Haji Pura area in district Sialkot and father of three sexually abused minor girls, has been staying on a footpath outside Lahor
e Press Club along with his daughters for 3 months after spe
nding 4 months on roads in Islamabad seeking j
ustice from the authorities.
Talking to Daily Times, Masih said that his three daughters (names have been removed to protect identity of the victims), were subjected to sexual assault by family relatives while he was away working in a factory.
He further stated that in April 2017, an FIR was lodged against the accused leading to their arrest, but they were later set free by the police authorities. Masih also accused his relatives of kidnapping one of his daughters as means to bla
ckmail him to prevent him from pursuing j
ustice.
In an appeal to Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif, Masih requested that his case be given same importance as the recent incident in Kasur where 8-year-old Zainab was raped, murdered and left in a dumpster. Those accused include Masih’s brother, cousin and brother’s son.
He also revealed that the police offic
ials have been forcing him to withdraw the cases, but he said he would continue his silent protest until j
ustice is served.
Masih has protested outside Islamabad Press Club for four months before coming to Lahore, but to no avail.
The family has been on roads for 7 months seeking j
ustice from the related authorities
