In Wanike Tarar police precincts of Hafizabad, a 18-year-old youth named Ali Hassan lost his life a week ago after suffering brutal torture by two suspects, Mudassar and Majid. According to an FIR filed on September 14, the suspects intercepted Hassan in a local market and took him to their LPG decanting shop, where they allegedly pumped liquefied petroleum gas directly into his rectum.
Overwhelmed with pain, Hassan began to cry, prompting locals to rush him to a hospital, after which he was transferred to a Lahore hospital where he sadly passed away on Monday. The police had immediately registered a case against the two suspects under sections 324, 285, 286, and 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code and initiated an investigation.
The complainant, Ghulam, stated that the suspects had a history of tormenting Hassan and that he confronted them about it a few days prior to the incident. The suspects were subsequently arrested, and the police are currently conducting further investigations.
