SAHIWAL: A deaf-mute girl was raped by a youngster at 65A/GD village, Noor Shah, on Tuesday.

‘M’, 24, was with her younger brother at home when their parents had gone out for labour. A neighbour came to their house and allegedly raped the girl and fled. Her parents said the girl was deaf-mute and she raised hue and cry but no one could help her.

Police registered a case against the suspect.
