The Lahore police arrested two persons on Tuesday for harassing a young woman travelling in a quingqi rickshaw on Canal Road near Model Town.
According to the woman’s father, the men, riding a motorcycle, started following them the moment they boarded the quingqi rickshaw. “We were going back home from a wedding.”
Muhammad Shahid told the police that the men passed inappropriate comments at his daughter. “At a traffic signal, they [the suspects] tried to hold her hand. One of the men tried to grab my daughter’s face as well,” he said.
During the ordeal, the family noted the number plate of the suspects’ motorcycle and immediately filed a complaint with the police.
SHO Muhammad Qasim immediately took notice of the incident. “The motorcycle’s number was sent to excise department and within a few hours we arrested the men,” he told a private TV.
