MULTAN, May 7: Melsi police have failed to arrest the accused wanted for stripping naked a woman and parading her through streets of Pul Shaheedan Wala on allegation that she had arranged the meeting of a girl of their family with her boyfriend.

Ansar Mai told police that on Friday five armed people — Shahbaz Ali, Allah Bakhsh, Muneer Ahmed, Ghulam Muhammad and Ghulam Qadir — entered her house, dragged her on to the road and stripped her naked cloths and paraded her in the bazaar for two hours.

Miranpur police registered a case on Saturday and arrested only one accuse, Shahbaz Ali.

Mian Aftab, Miranpur Police Station chief, said police were after the other accused. — Staff Correspondent
