A young citizen was seen being beaten up by Sindh Rangers soldiers in broad daylight on a busy thoroughfare in the capital city of Sindh.
A Rangers vehicle is seen speeding through an intersection during the incident on CCTV when a silver car takes a U-turn. The biker gets struck by the Rangers’ vehicle as the driver leans slightly to the left, causing him to fall to the ground.
Instead of checking on the citizen, three personnel approach him and start beating him up as the victim seems to be shocked over the unexpected treatment.
The video has sparked anger on social media where users said it was not the way to treat the citizens with some of them recalling the 2011 incident when a citizen named Sarfraz Shah was shot dead by the Rangers officials.
In a tweet, PTI leader Shahbaz Gill said as per initial reports the Rangers were chasing a snatcher. However, he criticized the treatment meted out to the man by the security official, saying: “It would have been better to take action against him as per the law instead of beating him publicly”.
Meanwhile, reports in local media said the victim was a ‘drug peddler’ who the Rangers officials arrested after a chase.
