A 45-year-old peasant was brutally attacked by feudal lord Muhammad Aslam, his sons and grandsons in Gujrat for not obeying their orders.
The incident occurred on Sunday when the peasant was beaten up with a blunt axe and iron rods for not agreeing to the feudal lord’s orders to reap crops and keep cattle out of the fields.
