A 29-year-old woman was raped by a Dindoshi-based moneylender, who gave her a soft drink laced with an intoxicant. The survivor had approached the moneylender through a friend as she needed Rs 50,000 to conduct urgent repairs in her house. While the accused is at large, the Kurar police have detained the survivor’s friend.

Police said the survivor, who works as a housekeeping staffer at an office, needed R50,000 urgently and she asked her best friend, Raju, if he knew anyone who could lend her the amount. Raju asked her to ask his friend Vishal, a moneylender, for the money.
