Muhammad Raza Dar, grandson of Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister, and seven others were indicted in a gang rape case involving two foreign women in Lahore, overriding earlier police clearance due to lack of evidence against Dar. 

The women, from the Netherlands and Venezuela, had met Dar over a disputed $500,000 crypto investment. 

They were allegedly detained, threatened, forced to transfer money, and assaulted in Lahore. The indictment initiates formal trial proceedings, with defendants pleading not guilty and prosecution expected to present evidence.
