A mob allegedly belonging to the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) has looted a vendor’s cart full of bananas amid the organisation’s ongoing protests across the country.
In a video making rounds over the internet, a young boy selling bananas in Sheikhupura was attacked by a forceful mob that raided his cart, running away with the goods while the boy struggled to protect his source of livelihood.
