Sialkot police have arrested nine suspects including prime accused Jajja for brutally torturing a transgender person.
A case was registered against the suspects belonging to ‘Tinda Group’ after a video showing a transgender person’s brutal torture went viral.
Reportedly, prime accused Jajja Butt mercilessly thrashed the transgender person for organising a function without his permission. Tinda Group has forbidden the transgender community to organise any function without its permission.
Jajja and his accomplices had abducted four transgender people Adeeba, Dillagi, Hina, Adil and Shanaya. They were taken to suspect Azeemu’s farmhouse in Kotli and subjected to brutal torture.
“They used to torture us with burning cigarettes and abuse us. They have also shaved heads of some of my friends,” a victim told local media.
Police have named 18 suspects in the First Information Report (FIR) while nine of them have been detained so far.
