A disturbing event has come to light from Musakhel, where eight individuals were reportedly forced to walk over burning embers after being suspected of carrying out theft.
Footage of the incident, captured on-site, has gone viral across social media channels, according to a private news outlet.
Initial reports indicate that the act was performed in accordance with tribal customs. All eight men subjected to the ritual were later exonerated.
However, local elders have pointed fingers at shepherd Gulam Mohammad Nandani for orchestrating the incident.
Officials have confirmed that the incident has been reported to government authorities, yet no action has been taken thus far, raising alarms about the inaction of the local administration.
The viral video shows the men walking barefoot over burning embers, prompting widespread public outrage.
While tribal representatives defended the practice as a long-standing tradition, online criticism has reignited discussions about the legality, safety, and human rights concerns surrounding such rituals.
The issue is currently under investigation, however, authorities have not released a statement regarding possible legal or disciplinary actions.
In another incident, a police constable in Karachi was suspended after a video surfaced showing him assaulting a woman believed to be intoxicated in DHA.
The altercation took place on Saba Avenue, where the woman was reportedly yelling, obstructing traffic, and creating a disturbance. A patrol unit from the Darakhshan police station arrived to clear the road, but a dispute ensued between the woman and Constable Nadeem. They both slapped each other before the officer forcefully removed her from the street.
The footage quickly generated public outrage, with citizens criticizing the officer’s approach and questioning the absence of female police officers to handle the situation.
In response to the backlash, police have suspended Constable Nadeem. The woman has been taken into custody for legal processing, while a medical examination has been completed. Police officials state that further investigation into the incident is ongoing.
