The accused have a previous criminal record and was released on bail 14 days before the motorway incident happened.

Two "robbers" allegedly gang-raped a woman on the Lahore-Sialkot motorway on Wednesday while she was waiting with her children for help on the motorway after her car stopped either due to fuel shortage.
