Landlords Mara Jat and Zaheer Jat and their aides tied up labourer Mohammad Boota and his wife and raped the girls, aged between 13 and 18 years, at Kitro in Sheikhupura district yesterday.
Members of Boota's family told the media that the girls were abducted by the landlords and taken into the fields, where they were gang raped.
All the girls were unmarried, police officials said.
The incident occurred after Boota, who had moved to Kitro two weeks ago to work in the fields, demanded his salary from the landlords who had employed him.
The landlords and their aides warned him of dire consequences.
Police have filed an FIR, which quoted Boota as saying that he and his wife managed to free themselves and went to search for the girls.
They found the girls in a field while the landlords and their aides managed to escape.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif visited Boota's residence and directed police to immediately arrest all the accused.
He presented cheques to the victim's family and assured them that the accused would be brought to justice.
Police officer Chaudhry Muhammad Iqbal said an initial medical report had confirmed that the girls were raped.
A case has been registered against eight men and three men have been been arrested, he said.
The unfortunate incident of Teenager Raped by Landlord should be deplored , As it is an incident that rarely gives excuse to the culprits . The International Human Rights Commission should intervene in this sensitive issue and get the culprits arrested and adequate compensation be released for the effective teenagers .
Why Can't the God Damm Taliban take extra judicial course and punish those criminals.
