Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has taken notice of an incident of torture on an elderly woman in Sialkot and sought a report from the inspector general of police.
The chief minister ordered initiation of legal action against the assaulters and said they should also be brought to book at the earliest. He said justice for the woman should be ensured. Those involved in the incident did not deserve any lenience, he added.
Meanwhile, the police have arrested five suspects in the case. A video of the elderly woman tortured over an alleged land dispute in Sialkot had gone viral on social media on Sunday.
The video showed the woman grabbed by her hair, dragged, kicked and even beaten with sticks. After the video went viral, Sialkot police registered a case against 15 suspects and apprehended several of them including women.
The woman said the attack was linked to a land dispute that she had with the assaulters for the past 13 years.
