Sibling of senior ruling party official probed over rape
A younger brother of a PPM lawmaker had allegedly raped a 19-year-old girl
Police service received 417 cases of rape in 2017
A sibling of a senior official of ruling PPM is being investigated over rape.
It was reported that a younger brother of a PPM lawmaker had allegedly raped a 19-year-old girl.
Since RaajjeMV was unable to contact the MP or his brother, we are unable to disclose their names on account of anti-defamation laws.
The victim was allegedly raped after she went to an art studio for a project, and was given money to remain quiet, reported some news outlets.
She reportedly gave a detailed description of the rape, and police have taken samples from her body.
The police service has confirmed that they are investigating such a case, but have refused to give details.
The police service received 417 cases of rape last year, and three this year, so far.
