Captain denies involvement in Sui doc rape case
2005-01-17
"Nope. Wudn't me."
Capt Hammad, who has been accused of raping a woman doctor in Sui that sparked a serious crisis in Balochistan, has pleaded innocence to any involvement in the case. Talking to various Pakistani TV channels, Hammad claimed that he was not present at the spot or any where near the site when the lady doctor was allegedly raped.
"Lies! All lies!"
A report from Karachi said the medical board, which examined the lady doctor Shazia, has confirmed that she was raped by more than one person. Another report from Sui also quoted the police as saying that preliminary investigations have confirmed the rape allegation. Police have recovered several items from the scene of the incident as evidence confirming the rape.
"Inspector! Lookit dis! It's a wallet! It musta fallen outta the rapist's pocket when he was pulling his pants down!"
A judicial inquiry ordered by the provincial government is looking into the allegations that officials of the Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) which manages the gas fields, concealed facts related to the case. The district police officer of Naseerabad, D.M. Jamal, has also sent written letter to PPL manager Prof Pervez Jamula to explain why the PPL administration failed to notify the police of the rape.
'cause no one thought it worth reporting, obviously.
Hammad said that at the time of the incident, he was attending a meeting with his army commander on law and order situation in the area.
Wanna bet the commander verifies the story?
After the meeting he went straight to his house and spend the night with his family. "I am ready to get a DNA or any other test conducted to prove that I am innocent.
Sure thing, but we'll need five liters of blood for the test. All at once.
"And when I am found innocent, strict action should be taken against those who have launched a campaign to defame me," said Hammad while pointing out that the allegations levelled against him has seriously disrupted his family life. Hammad was reportedly married only two weeks ago.
I dunno... I'm starting to get the idea that Captain Sahib is being framed. I'm gonna have to talk this over with Anna Comnena and Procopius...

#1  I might feel a need for further explanation if my husband were accused of rape following our wedding. But I'm funny that way.
