THATTA, March 29: Delay in justice, denial of medical report, and failure to arrest the culprits are making a gang rape victim psychosomatic and further lingering may force her to end her life.

On the complaint of victim's father, Aachar Samoon, the MPA immediately contacted IGP Sindh, Jehangir Mirza and secretary health, Naushad Shaikh on mobile phone and told them that police and lady doctor Nasreen Baloch were reportedly trying to hush up the case.
