On Friday, the Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered disciplinary action and initiation of contempt proceedings against doctors conducting the “two-finger test” in violation of an earlier prohibition in cases related to rape and sexual offences.
Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh presided over a post-arrest bail case filed by petitioner Muhammad Akram.
The petitioner is accused of sexually assaulting the complainant, a third-year student, at gunpoint on July 29, 2022, and recording indecent video clips. He also threatened to publish the pins online if she informed anyone of the assault.
While the petitioner denied all allegations, the complainant’s medico-legal certificate and DNA test report proved him guilty of sexual assault. Police also recovered the pistol he allegedly used.
Before dismissing the bail, Justice Sheikh pointed out that the doctor performed the two-finger test on her during the medical examination.
