A landlord tortured and dragged a 10-year-old boy through the streets of Nankana Sahib on Wednesday, by tying him to the tail of a buffalo. According to details, Ali, aged 10, the son of a labourer Muhammad Yousaf, residing in Kowairakalan area of Nankana Sahib, was grazing cattle in the fields when he exchanged heated words with Papoo and Murtaza, sons of a local influential landlord, Mohsin Ali Kharral.
The two sons of the landlord tortured Ali and later dragged him through the streets after tying him to the tail of a buffalo. The villagers, after hearing the screams of the child, reached the scene and rescued him. However, the boy received injuries. The injured child was shifted to the Mayo Hospital Lahore in critical condition where he was being treated. Due to political pressure and the influence of the father of the accused, the Syedwala police refused to register a case against the culprits. The parents of the injured child have demanded the authorities and the Punjab chief minister to take notice of the incident and to bring the culprits to justice.
