ISLAMABAD: The four suspects named in an alleged sexual assault case here in the capital city's F-9 park were handed over to police Thursday morning under a 14-day judicial remand after their arrest a day prior.

The four suspects — all of whom were arrested and subsequently confessed to the heinous crime in the capital city — had attempted to intimidate and blackmail a 22-year-old woman by threatening to level allegations of indecency against her.
