ISLAMABAD: A woman was subjected to gang rape in a factory while armed men looted a female rider of an online delivery service, the capital police said on Saturday.

The mother of a two-year-old boy was gang raped by her colleagues at a factory located in the limits of Shams Colony police station, the police said.

The woman, who got separation from her husband about a year ago, got employment in the factory about a week back. One of the workers in the factory took her to a room and along with his two accomplices sexually assaulted her. They also made videos of the victim and threatened her not to complain to anyone.

The woman later got a case registered against the three persons at the Shams Colony police station. However, so far no arrest has been made by the police.

In another incident, armed men looted a female rider of an online delivery service at I-10 /4.

Zarina Shahadat came over to I-10/4 to deliver a parcel and was receiving the payment when three persons riding a motorcycle appeared there. One of the motorcycle riders pulled out a pistol and snatched Rs31,340 and a mobile mobile from her and escaped.

The Sabzi Mandi police registered a robbery case against the criminals in response to a complaint lodged by Ms Shahadat.
