SIALKOT: At least nine people including the main accused Jajja Butt were arrested by the police on Monday for brutally torturing transgenders in Sialkot.
The police took action after the horrific video of man beating up transgender goes viral on media. The group by the name of Tanda had forbidden the transgender community to participate in any function without their permission. Jajja Butt and his aide picked four transgender people Adeeba, Dillagi, Hina and Adil from Daska and took them to Phool’s den in Kotli, where they beat them up mercilessly.
Five other transgender people were kidnapped from Sialkot and their heads were shaved at Azeemu’s den in Kotli. The accused were shifted to police station where the transgenders while pouring their anger slapped them furiously.
Police have named 18 suspects in the first information report (FIR) while nine of them have been detained so far.
