A labourer was tied to a tree and brutally beaten for stopping a feudal lord from teasing a young girl in Layyah on Thursday, Express News reported.

According to initial reports, a feudal lord, after tying the labourer to a tree, ordered children of the area to beat him with shoes and sticks for stopping him from approaching a girl.

Police arrived at the scene and released the labourer from captivity.

On Saturday, a tea stall owner was allegedly beaten to death by Gulberg police constables at his stall. Other customers at the shop said it was because Muhammad Fayyaz, the victim, had demanded payment for the tea and edibles the cops had ordered.

Muhammad Jamil, the victim’s brother, told journalists that some cops from the Gulberg police station would frequent his brother’s tea stall. “However, they would often leave without paying for the food they had ordered and that had worried Fayyaz.”

Jamil said he had decided to put his foot down. “On Saturday night, he asked the three constables at his shop to pay for the tea they had ordered.” He said the cops had flared up and started beating him up and using abusive language against him.

According to people in the area, the cops forcibly shuttered down the tea stall and told the other customers to leave. Jamil said that they then beat Fayyaz up badly.

Mother | 7 years ago | Reply Why is the feudal's name not given? By providing the feudal anonymity, Tribune is perpetuating their power.
Kolsat | 7 years ago | Reply @Shahid Akram: I agree. The police released this poor hapless man but did not arrest the feudal lord of the area. This is not justice. The man who tied him should be fined, jailed and asked to pay for medical expenses.
