One Christian girl died, while two others were severely injured after a vehicle driven by Muslim men reportedly ran over the group of girls.

According to a report by British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA), the three girls - Kiran, 17, Shamroza, 18, and Sumble, 20, were walking home when a group of four Muslim men drove close by.

The Muslim men made some lewd comments and tried to make sexual advances toward the girls but they refused, and started running away from the vehicle.

The report said that the Muslim men were insulted that the girls fled, and told them that "Christian girls are only meant for one thing. The pleasure of Muslim men."

The men, who were reportedly drunk, then ran over the three girls. Shamroza and Sumble were thrown to the side of the road upon impact, causing severe injuries.

Shamroza broke several ribs, while Sumble broke her hip.

The impact however, brought Kiran up and caused her to hit the windshield. The Muslim men drove the car fast while she was on the windscreen.

When the men saw another vehicle, the driver made an abrupt stop, sending Kiran to the concrete road, where she suffered further injuries, eventually leading to her death.

The families of the victims are seeking for justice, although reports said that they even had to pay a bribe to the police just so they would file a report about the fatal incident. 

In Pakistan, Christians are considered second-class citizens by the majority of the population who are Muslims. Aside from killings, Christians are often abused, robbed, and raped by Muslims.
