A report filed by Lahore’s police contained a witness statement in which the woman claimed she was raped during the eight-hour operation.
‘I was admitted to the hospital for a surgery on November 24,’ the report read.
‘When I regained consciousness from the anesthesia that night, I realised I had been assaulted during the surgery.
‘It was an 8-hour-long operation but they discharged me from the hospital the same day,’ the woman told the police.
