KARACHI: Showbiz artists have demanded public execution of the accused who gang-raped a woman on Lahore Motorway.

A tragic incident took place with a woman named Sana, a resident of Gujranwala, on the Lahore Motorway yesterday when her car ran out of petrol on the Lahore Motorway. Meanwhile, the accused took the opportunity to beat the woman and smashed her car windows, taking her to the fields at gunpoint and raping her.

When the news of the inhuman incident spread like wildfire, voices were raised from all sides for the arrest of the accused. In this hour of grief, the showbiz artists also expressed sympathy with the woman and demanded public execution of the accused.

Addressing Prime Minister Imran Khan in his tweet, actor Feroz Khan said, "I will always support your statement that Pakistan will definitely become a state of Madinah. But if you are accused of abusing children and women and killing children." If we do not hang him in public, nothing will ever change. You have to set an example for others in this regard and that is my demand.

Aijaz Aslam demanded from the PTI the government that you have to set an example by hanging these accused in public.

Singer Asim Azhar presented his position in his tweet using the hashtag "Give public punishment to the abusers".

Television host Rabia Anam spoke out against the atrocity, calling for the perpetrators to be hanged in public.

Actress Sanam Baloch also used the hashtag of public execution while retweeting Sana Bucha's tweet. Sana Bacha's tweet said, "After the incident, the motorway authorities continued to set their limits and during this time, the dignity of Eve's daughter was exceeded and the accused went beyond the limits of humanity."
