A woman went to a public park with four other friends to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day in Lahore on Friday.
It was a public holiday so the woman started recording a video to upload to TikTok when a fact of maximum brutality was triggered.
The woman was attacked by a mob of about 400 men who abused her. She was stripped, her clothes ripped off, she was stapled and thrown from side to side.
The victim was also robbed of about $ 100 and his cell phone.

Impact on the authorities
The attack took place last week, but it is only now known after a video hit the networks.
Such was the impact, that the police opened an investigation and the Prime Minister of Pakistan himself, Imran Jan, warned that “The Government will not forgive a single person involved.”
Police have opened a case against about 400 people who are being identified by videos of the attack. Identities of the assailants are not yet known, but it has been confirmed that there are men from a wide range of ages.
