According to reports, the victim, Shanti, was under treatment at the Trauma Centre of Civil Hospital after suffering severe injuries in the Shah Baig Lane area of Lyari.
The woman was in a coma, and her physical examination results were “consistent with sexual violence”, police surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed added.
