Ishaq Dar Grandson Accused: A case has come to light in Pakistan, which has raised questions on the politics and law and order there. Raza Dar, grandson of the country's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, has been seriously accused of gang-raping two foreign women. The case is not limited to harassment only, but also includes allegations like kidnapping, extortion and threatening to kill. The special thing is that in the initial investigation, Pakistan's Punjab Police had given clean chit to Raza Dar, but now the court has framed charges against 8 accused including him. In such a situation, let us know the whole matter in detail.
Charges fixed against eight accused including Raza Dar
Lahore Additional District and Sessions Court has framed charges against eight people including Raza Dar in the gang rape case of two foreign women. However, all the accused declared themselves innocent in the court. The court directed the prosecution to present witnesses on 9 December. All the accused are currently in judicial custody.
What is the whole matter?
This case is of June 2026. Stephanie Adnana Mau-Arun of the Netherlands and Astrid Robinson Baracho of Venezuela had come to Pakistan for business. It is alleged that Raza Dar and his four associates kidnapped and raped both the women in Lahore. Medical examination also confirmed sexual assault. After recording their statements, both the women returned to their country.
Controversy started from cryptocurrency investment
According to the police report, both the women met Raza Dar in Singapore in 2025. He offered him to invest in cryptocurrency trading. After receiving profits from his initial investment, Raza Dar reportedly invested more than $5 lakh. Later, he neither received any profit nor any refund. In June, Raza Dar invited two women to Pakistan on the pretext of arranging a meeting with another investor. She initially stayed in a hotel in Islamabad and then went to Lahore.
Hostage, rape and extortion allegations
The women were allegedly taken to a house in the Defense Housing Authority area of Lahore, where they were treated as hostages and pressurized to return the money. According to the police report, he was allegedly forced to transfer $19,500. They were threatened with weapons, knives and broken glass. If he did not pay the money, he was also threatened with death and selling his body parts.
The police had earlier given a clean chit
In its initial report, Punjab Police had acquitted Raza Dar and his four associates of rape charges in this case. Instead, the police accused three employees of Raza Dar of raping the women.
According to the police, the vehicle carrying the women met with an accident when they were being taken to Lahore Airport. During this time, both the women managed to escape from the clutches of the accused. Now, with the charges being framed in the court, the way has been cleared for a regular hearing in the case.
