BAHAWALPUR: Police claimed on Monday that the woman, who was tortured by policeman Mir Hasan on a moving train, was found dead close to the Chani Goth Railway Station in Bahawalpur.
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.
Maryam Bibi, a resident of Jaranwala, Faisalabad, was recognized as the woman.
Afzal, the victim’s brother, claimed that his sister was a former employee at a beauty parlor in Karachi.
Maryam departed Karachi on April 7 by Millat Express, according to Afzal. According to him, Maryam jumped off a train, and the Bahawalpur police notified his family of her death.
“Believing it was a rail accident, we buried her in the village on April 9. The truth about the incident and my sister’s abuse emerged when the video went viral,” he continued.
