The victims all aged between 14 and 17, had reportedly gone to pluck mangoes—an act often seen as a harmless childhood mischief. However, the disproportionate violence inflicted on them has raised serious concerns about lawlessness and the use of extreme force over trivial matters.
Arshad Shah’s mother, speaking to FPJ questioned the brutality of the act. “They are children. They were plucking something to eat, not committing a serious crime. Beating them like animals is inhuman,” she said demanding strict action against the accused.
