LAHORE - Mehr Afzal Bharwana, a local leader of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz, has been assaulted as a group of unidentified men attacked and tortured him in Jhang.
A viral clip went viral on social media showing a number of attackers assaulting Mehr Afzal Bahrwana, a local politician from Jhang - a city in northern Punjab.
Unverified reports claim that attackers intercepted Bharwana, who reportedly left PTI and went into people ahead of the elections. The attackers stripped him after tearing his clothes and tortured him with rods.
I doubt it is Mehr Afzal Bharwana. Can any body from Ajman can confirm. pic.twitter.com/p21aBNEIbt
