Police have registered a case against five suspects for allegedly stopping two teenage boys travelling on a motorcycle, stripping one of them, filming him naked, tying up both boys, assaulting them and throwing one into rainwater in the Sahianwala area of Faisalabad.
As per the First Information Report (FIR), complainant Rai Fida Hussain Kharral, a resident of Hafizabad, told police that his 14-year-old son, Hassan Fida and his 13-year-old cousin Abu Zar had come to visit their maternal relatives.
He said the two boys were riding a motorcycle from their uncle's cattle farm to the village via an unpaved road near Sem Wala when they were intercepted near the farmhouse of Abrar Cheema by five armed men, including Afanan Cheema, son of Ataullah, Ahsan and Abrar.
According to the complaint, when Hassan resisted, Abrar and Ahsan allegedly stripped him naked at gunpoint.
The complainant alleged that Afanan recorded a video of the boy in a nude state on his mobile phone, while Abrar tied his hands and feet.
