In a major breakthrough, the Lahore crime investigation agency (CIA) police on Monday finally arrested Abid Malhi, the prime suspect in the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway gangrape case, from Manga Mandi, some 33km from here.

The incident had sparked countrywide outrage in which a mother of two was gang-raped off the motorway on Sept 9 in front of her children after her car ran out of fuel on way to Gujranwala late in the night.

The arrest came after the police, as a strategy, released Malhi’s parents, brothers and wife, allowing them to use their old mobile phone SIMs to trap him.
