Publication time 8 minutes ago Reading time: 7 minutes The videos of two incidents that happened a few days apart in the heart of Lahore, Punjab province, Pakistan, sparked a debate about the attitudes of citizens, the protection of women and workers, and the rule of law.

In one incident, a girl on a scooty was stopped on the road and subjected to torture, while in another, a petrol pump employee was accused of torture for simply forbidding her to smoke. After the arrest of the people involved in both the incidents, the question is now being discussed on social media that how to prevent such incidents in public places and ensure the supremacy of law.

In the CCTV footage of the first incident which took place on October 20 on Lahore's Mazing Link Road, it can be seen that a man riding a motorcycle forces a girl on a scooter to stop and then tortures her. The girl falls to the ground, but the man does not stop.

The bystanders intervened and stopped him, while according to the police, the accused involved in the incident, who is a lawyer by profession, has been arrested.

A few days after this incident, a video of torture on a petrol pump employee came out in Lahore itself. According to the FIR, when the employee forbade a man from smoking at the petrol pump, he allegedly quarreled with the staff, brandished a weapon and fled threatening him. According to the police, the accused was also arrested in this case.
