A senior police official told Dawn that three men were allegedly involved in sexual assault of their own sister. One of the suspects was a religious scholar who delivered religious sermons on social media. The other two were labourers.
Police said that the family consists of 5 brothers and 4 sisters and belongs to Bannu, but have been living in Golra Sharif for two years. The victim had been living with her brothers after the death of their parents.
The security officials also said that doctors and local elders had confirmed that the three had confessed to their crime. The three were produced in court on Thursday and were handed over to the police on judicial remand.
The victim has been shifted to a protection centre.
