The robbers hailed from Renala Khurd, a city 17 KM away from Okara and in the video, could be seen pleading for forgiveness much to the rejection of the mob encircling them.

Street justice, though legally barred, is often used in numerous cities of the country apparently due to trust deficit between the masses and judicial quarters.

One such incident that harks back to 2010 stirred chaos across the country when two brothers Mughees and Muneeb Butt were lynched in Sialkot on suspicion of robbery.
