In Pakistan, the mob took off the clothes of 4 women, paraded them bare

Islamabad. In Pakistan’s Punjab province, a crowd of people took out a nude parade of 4 women, including a teenager, accusing them of stealing from the shop. The mob first took off the clothes of all four and dragged them on the road and beat them up. The incident took place on Monday in Faisalabad, about 180 km from Lahore. In a video that surfaced on social media, 4 women, including a teenager, were seen pleading with people around them to cover their bodies, but the crowd did not listen and pelted sticks on them. During this, women kept begging for their honor and life, but people remained spectators.
According to the report, the women have said in the complaint, ‘We were thirsty and went inside the Osman Electric store and asked for a bottle of water, but its owner Saddam accused us of entering the shop with the intention of stealing. Saddam and others started beating us. Then he dragged her naked and beat her. They also made our videos after stripping. No one from the crowd tried to stop the culprits to stop this atrocity.

Punjab Police swung into action after some videos of the incident went viral on social media. A spokesperson of Punjab Police said in a tweet on Tuesday, “We have arrested 5 people in connection with this unfortunate incident.” Is probing the matter. All the accused involved in this will be brought to justice. An FIR has been registered against 5 suspects and several others under relevant provisions of the law.
Many people on the video not only condemned the mob system of Pakistan, but also called this video objectionable. A user retweeting the tweet of Punjab Police said that please delete this video.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday that his government will not tolerate mob violence in the name of religion. The people responsible for this will not be spared. He was addressing a condolence meeting organized at the Prime Minister’s Office for the slain Sri Lankan national Priyantha Kumara. He was lynched and set ablaze by a mob on charges of blasphemy in Punjab province’s Sialkot last week.

Imran Khan said the Sialkot incident has brought the country to a point to “end such incidents”. He expressed regret that people in Pakistan are killing others in the name of the Holy Prophet and accused of blasphemy are rotting in jails, as lawyers and judges are afraid to hear such cases.
