Police on Wednesday claimed to have arrested five suspects of stripping off and torturing a man and filming the entire scene to later upload on social media sites, it has been learnt.
Subsequently, the video went viral on social media, prompting police to take action against the suspected culprits.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Allai Shahnawaz Khan told DawnNews that the crime took place in Allai area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Battagram district, around three weeks ago.
"The video shows four culprits stripping off a youth and torturing him with stick," he said.
The police official informed DawnNews that a First Information Report of the case has been registered, and viewed that the case apparently seemed an honour dispute.
"Police have arrested five out of the total six accused," he said, adding that the sixth person has managed to escape abroad.
He said that the police have already written a letter to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to approach Interpol for extradition of the accused.
"All the arrests were made under the section 377," the DSP said.
