Sahiwal witnessed the alleged abduction, torture, and humiliation of Mardan Bibi, a woman who had reclaimed her legally inherited land after it was occupied by others for approximately three decades. Mardan Bibi, with assistance from the Pera Force, police, revenue department, and the district administration, regained possession of the land following a 30-year illegal occupation.
The attackers, comprising 12 armed individuals, including three women, entered the scene in Chak 93/9-L, taking Mardan Bibi by her hair, forcing her onto a motorcycle, and covering her face with a cloth. Her cousin, Akram, attempted to intervene but sustained an injury from the assailants. The police, alerted through a 15 helpline call, swiftly arrived on the scene to rescue Mardan Bibi and arrest six of the suspects, while the remaining offenders evaded capture. Investigations continue to apprehend the remaining suspects.
