3 women forced to walk naked in public



* Women accuse UC nazim of plotting against them to grab their house 

LAHORE: An angry mob tortured and forced three women to walk naked on Multan 
Road in Phoolnagar, Kasur on the accusation of prostitution, a private 
television channel reported on Monday.

According to the channel, a large number of people attacked a house in 
Jambarkalan village, torturing three women - including Shahnaz - for allegedly 
being involved in prostitution and running a brothel in the village.

Illegal: However, the victims said all the accusations against them were 
baseless and devoid of truth. The women said they had a property dispute with 
Union Council Nazim Ilyas Khanzada who wanted to occupy their home illegally. 
They accused him of planning and leading the criminal assault on their home. 

The UC nazim confirmed that all three women were subjected to torture by the 
mob and were later forced to walk naked on the road. However, he denied 
plotting against the women. 

Jabarkalan Police Sub-Inspector Bashir told the channel that a case under 
sections 371-A and 371-B had been registered against the women for running a 
brothel on the local residents' complaints. 

However, a local court directed senior police officials to take action against 
the policemen concerned for registering a case under wrong sections of the 
Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

Police did not register a case or even question the mob that attacked the women 
and publicly humiliated them. daily times monitor.
