A minor boy was killed after falling into a factory machine in Farrukhabad, Shahdra area of Lahore.

According to a local media house, the owner of the factory fled the scene as police failed to respond in time.

Furthermore, the family of the 10-year-old boy gathered near the Begum Kot police check post and held a protest against the officials, demanding the immediate arrest of the accused.

The report further stated that the victim’s father alleged that police “helped the factory owner flee from the crime scene”.

The protest caused a major traffic jam on the Lahore-Jaranwala Road for over an hour before senior police officials reached the scene and assured the protestors that justice will be served, following which they dispersed from the area.
