LAHORE: Pakistan Railways spokesperson Babar Ali Raza explained the situation behind the police official torturing the woman on the Millat Express train on Tuesday. He said the woman was sitting on another passenger’s seat and the cop tried really hard to get her off of it before torturing her.
Speaking to the “Pakistan” show on News, the spokesperson stated that although the passenger initially ordered her to get up from the seat, he approached the police after she began to disperse his items.
“Then, police constable Mir Hasan begged the woman, identified as Maryam, for about 20-25 minutes to get up from the other passenger’s seat, but she refused,” stated the officer.
“The passengers that were there provided all of the information. Watch the video to see what occurred next.
The policeman was shown repeatedly striking the woman while gripping her hair in a video that went viral on social media, capturing the assault as other passengers looked on passively.
According to Abdullah Sheikh, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) for Railways, the event happened on April 7 on the Millat Express, which was traveling from Karachi to Lala Musa.
