This harrowing incident, a byproduct of patriarchal violence, emerged to dishonour these women’s bodies as a penalty. Several disturbing video clips featuring the shocking assault went viral on social media, displaying a group of men dragging the women as they cried out for mercy. Screenwriter, Yasir Hussain shared the viral video on his Instagram stories and expressed his horror at the witnesses’ lack of reprimand. “This horrible incident took place in Riyasat-e-Madina’s city Faisalabad where the women were accused of theft. If men in this country have the audacity to assault, beat and strip naked women in public places ALL WHILE filming it - imagine what they do to women around them behind closed doors.
