Incident Caught on Camera Raises Alarm
This case was reported following the circulation of a video clip that appeared on various social media platforms on Friday. In the video, one can see a man grabbing a girl who is traveling on a scooty in Nawab Town. While she tries to resist, he pulls her along until she finally falls to the ground.
