The affected villagers staged a sit-in on National Highway and chanted slogans against the land mafia. They told local reporters that the armed men forced them to vacate their houses in order to occupy their ancestral land and they would resist the acquisition of that land at the cost of their lives.
Victims of viciousness Feroz Jokhiyo, Abdullah Jokhiyo, Mahi Piran, and Najman said that they were pitilessly thrashed by the goons of Shaukat Niazi, Sohail Sharafat, and Imtiaz Shah. While Najman and Mahi Pira added that they were dragged by their hairs.
