Faisalabad: In a barbaric act, four women, including a teenager, were beaten with sticks and stripped naked in Pakistan’s Faisalabad.

The four women, accused of shoplifting in the Punjab province city, were dragged and beaten up ruthlessly by a group of people, reported PTI.

A video shared on social media showed the women pleading with people around them to give them some cloth so that they can cover themselves.

The women cried and asked the culprits to let them go. But their request fell on deaf ears as they were paraded naked in streets for an hour.

Police stepped in after videos of the incident went viral on social media. An FIR was registered against those involved in the humiliation of the women.

Faisalabad police head Dr Abid Khan informed that the five main culprits have been arrested and efforts are on to arrest others who are absconding.

The victims said they had gone went to Bawa Chak market in Faisalabad to collect waste.

“We were thirsty and went inside the Usman Electric Store and asked for a bottle of water. But its owner Saddam accused us of entering the shop with the intention to steal. Saddam and other men started beating us. Then they stripped, dragged and beat us through the market place. They also made our videos after stripping us… no one in the mob tried to stop the culprits to stop this atrocity,” according to the complaint.
