KARACHI: A man was arrested for allegedly attempting to rape a 12-year-old girl and later, trying to throw her off a building in the city's Clifton area.

The incident is said to have taken place on September 25 when four men allegedly took a girl to inside a building in Clifton's Shah Rasool Colony to rape her.

The alleged victim's mother said that she was not satisfied with the progress being made in the case, adding that the incident took place on September 25 and police have failed to arrest the other three suspects since then.
