With dark paint on his face and body exposed, Rehman was forced to walk from Government High School No. 1 to Thala streets – not a short distance, according to the police official.
Later, the 10 culprits left the area, leaving him on the street.
Abidullah, a local who witnessed the humiliating scene, said Rehman had no clothes on except his shirt, which was tied up around his neck. No one came to his rescue despite a crowd of people watching the incident, he added.
After the incident, police raided the houses of those accused; nine were arrested and taken to the Pahar Pur lock-up. The search for the remaining culprit is under way, said Wazir.
According to the DSP, Rehman and the perpetrators had a quarrel and Tuesday’s incident was “revenge”. However, the police will look into other motives as well, he added.

So police arrested 9 out of 10 people. Isn't that better than before when there were no arrests on such incidents?
