Sumbal Bibi informed CLAAS that Allah Baksh is a gate keeper at the house of Deputy Chief Engineer in Pakistan Railways where she works as a maid.
He is a bad character man and use to have illicit relations with women. Two months ago he tried to build sexual relations forcefully with a poor Christian woman who also worked in the same house where Sumbal is, but she did not take any legal action against him because of poverty and fear that police will not take any action against the man and left the work in silence. Then he focused on Sumbal and wanted to trap her but she made complaint with the owner Mr. Rizwan-Ul-Haq about Allah Baksh that he is not a good man. Mr. Rizwan and his wife did not believe on Sumbal and blamed her for making a false story to get involves Allah Baksh in a case.
The other hand Allah Baksh noticed that Rizwan and his wife did not believe Sumbal and did not take any action against him, therefore he started to sexually harass her in routine. He also offered financial support to Sumbal if she builds sexual relations with him. Sumbal flatly refused him and warned him to mend his ways otherwise she will take a legal action against him.
Sumbal informed the owner again but he ignored the matter because Allah Baksh knew Rizwan’s illegal affairs and that he brings different women at home in the absence of his wife.
On October 27, 2013, Sumbal was alone along with her two minor daughters at the owner’s house. At about 3:00 pm Allah Baksh asked her to wash the courtyard. She requested him that her daughters are alone and she wants to wait for her husband and on her husband’s return she will do the remaining work. Allah Baksh threatened her and said that he will make her complain to Rizwan-Ul-Haq.
Sumbal have to left alone Zaini 3 years old and and Raina 1 ½ years, alone and do the remaining work. After half an hour when she returned from her work she was stunned to see that Allah Baksh was there in her room out of his Shalwar (Men Trouser) and trying to rape Zaini who was also nude. Sumbal saw her other daughter Raina in bed stead ropes covered her mouth tightly that she could not make noise.
It was unexpected for Sumbal, she started shouting and try to snatch her daughters from this inhuman. Allah Baksh severely slapped on Sumbal’s face and threatened her that if she disclosed this incident to anyone he will kill her and her daughters. Sumbal asked for mercy on her daughters. When he saw that Sumbal got frightened he escaped from the scene. The same time Sumbal took her daughters to her parent’s place; she was crying and narrated the whole incident. Meanwhile Sumbal informed Azam (her husband) about this inhuman attack on her daughters by Allah Baksh, he rushed to his in-law’s and saw his daughters in miserable condition.
Mr. Asher Sarfraz (field officer CLAAS) met with Mr. Muhammad Kazim, Station House Officer (SHO) along with Zaini’s parents and requested him to get register case FIR against Allah Baksh. The meantime SHO ordered for the registration of case FIR no. 580/13 offence under section 376/511 according to Pakistan Penal Code, against Allah Baksh at Race Course Police Station, Lahore. SHO informed Mr. Asher that Allah Baskh (culprit) is in police custody.
After the case registration Mr. Asher Sarfraz went to the Services Hospital for the medico legal examination of Zaini and Rania along with their parents. After the medical examine it was confirmed in the report that Allah Baksh attempted to rape Zaini. Further, there was a physical violation on their bodies and marks of nails and bites were visible on their faces and neck.
On October 29, 2013 Azam and Sumbal along with their daughters approached CLAAS office and met with Mr. Joseph Francis, MBE National Director CLAAS and requested for legal assistance and help in their legal case against Allah Baksh and wanted to get justice by giving punish to him through court. Sumbal informed CLAAS that her owners are not supportive in this case, they kicked her out from the house and job as they are supporting Allah Baksh to save him from any punishment or prison.
Azam Masih said that they are poor and police has joined hands with culprits, they making pressure on Azam and Smbal for compromise in this case. Police also offered a handsome amount for compromise. While taking and sharing, he started crying and said that he is a poor but do not need money he need justice.
