Five employees of Lahore Orange Line Metro Train were arrested after a video of them beating labourers at the Awan Town station went viral. The employees told the labourers to crouch like a hen and hold their ears with their hands while the labourers were sitting like that the staffers attacked them with sticks.
According to the labourers, the staffers attacked them for starting a fire near the station. “We did start a small fire to keep ourselves warm in the cold weather,” a labourer said. The Gulshan-e-Iqbal police took action against the staffers on the instructions of CCPO Ghulam Mahmood Dogar. The CM ordered for holding an investigation and taking legal action against the accused.
