Four Women Paraded Naked & Beaten With Sticks On Pakistan Street After Allegations Of ‘Shoplifting’

Mumbai: Four women, including a teenager, were stripped, dragged and beaten by a group of people after accusing them of “shoplifting” in Pakistan’s Faisalabad on Monday.

As seen in a viral video, four women were pleading to the people surrounding them to let them have a piece of cloth to cover themselves after being stripped but they were beaten with sticks.

The women were paraded naked in the streets for an hour. They were seen crying and requesting the people to let them go but were ignored.

The Punjab police swung into action after a couple of videos of the incident went viral on social media.

In a tweet, the Punjab Police spokesperson informed that 5 culprits were arrested in this unfortunate incident on Tuesday. Faisalabad police head Dr Abid Khan said that raids are being conducted to arrest the absconding accused.

An FIR has been registered against five suspects and several others under relevant provisions of the law. The police said that investigation in the matter is ongoing and all those involved in it will be brought to justice.

The victim said that they went to the Bawa Chak market in Faisalabad to collect water, as reported by Times Now.

“We were thirsty and went inside the Usman Electric Store and asked for a bottle of water. But its owner Saddam accused us of entering the shop with the intention to steal. Saddam and other men started beating us. Then they stripped, dragged and beat us through the marketplace. They also made our videos after stripping us… no one in the mob tried to stop the culprits to stop this atrocity,” according to the complaint.
