Shameless lawyers of Shakargarh bar beating a poor girl in presence of law enforcers. This abominable act must be condemned and concerned authorities must take immediate action for dispensation of justice. @ShireenMazari1 @UsmanAKBuzdar pic.twitter.com/qSbUT8L1ih

She is fighting a case in relation to a door in the street near her residence. When the woman tried to enter the lawyers’ chamber they ‘stopped her’ by dragged her outside by her hair. Going on to beat her.
“They stopped me from going into the chamber, dragged me outside the court and started beating me. My arm has been hurt, my leg has been wounded and my hair pulled out.”
While Amrat was being beaten the policemen did nothing. Yet they stepped in to shield the first attacker when Amrat went after him.
Bystanders just looked on, with no one bothering to come for her rescue. It wasn’t until the video went viral that Local Bar Association’s President, Naeem Iqbal made a statement defending the lawyers.
Local Bar Association’s President Defends the Attackers
According to the Local Bar Association’s President, Naeem Iqbal claims Amrat came to the court with some men in attempt to kidnap the lawyers. The video evidence says otherwise.
These men here to kidnap the lawyers were nowhere to be seen. Plus they wouldn’t have stood around for their employer to be battered had they been with her.

The viral video actually shows a helpless Amrat being brutally attacked by the lawyers. Truth is if they aren’t held accountable now, they know they can get away with anything.
Good thing Chief Minister of Punjab, Usman Buzdar took notice of the issue. He issued directives to the Narowal District Police Officer to submit a report on the matter.
