Two men tortured over water dispute

In the 12 Gijani area of Chishtian, two brothers were tied to a tree and brutally tortured by a group of influential individuals over a water dispute.

The video of the assault was filmed by the perpetrators themselves and later went viral on social media. The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Saddar Police Station.

The victims, identified as brothers Amir Hamza and another unnamed sibling, had gone to inspect their agricultural land when they discovered that their water channel had been damaged.

Upon confronting the suspects present on the land, including Qasim Ali and Manzoor Ahmed, an altercation ensued. According to the First Information Report (FIR), the accused responded aggressively, hurling abuses and launching a physical assault.

Other individuals, allegedly armed with sticks, soon joined in. One assailant reportedly used the back of an axe to strike the victims.

The situation escalated when the attackers tied both brothers to trees and continued to beat them mercilessly.
