The police in Lahore have been directed to treat a suspect allegedly linked to a senior government minister in the case of two foreign women's abduction and assault as any other criminal.This directive comes after the police booked five suspects for the alleged abduction and sexual assault of the two women, who were later rescued.Four of the suspects, including a close relative of a high-profile political figure, were arrested and sent on a five-day remand.

The incident has raised questions about the handling of cases involving political connections, with authorities emphasizing that the suspect should be treated without special privileges.

The police have assured that the investigation will proceed impartially, focusing on the evidence rather than the suspect's alleged ties to the minister.The case highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring justice in cases where political influence may interfere with legal processes.Further details about the investigation and the victims' experiences are expected to emerge as the case progresses.
