It was not rape at all. A college student was injured when she fell in her own house and was hospitalized for two weeks. But Imran Khan's activists began posting fake news, claiming that the girl had been raped. They went so far as to say that the CCTV footage of the incident had been deleted by the college principal, whom they accused of protecting the alleged rapist. Then they urged students of their party to protest and damage property. Of course, Imran Khan's aim was to scare away the delegates to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization being held in Islamabad. Fortunately the protests were confined to Lahore only, but spread to other cities in Punjab later.
When the girl's parents appeared on TV and revealed the real story, Imran's men backtracked and displayed the photo of another girl as the rape victim, who is not even a student but is a married woman.
Of course all this would never have happened if those who damaged property on May 9 two years ago had been punished. But our judges are so enamored of Imran that they do not dare take any action against him or his men. They do only what their mothers-in-law want.
