DERA GHAZI KHAN: As many as 25 villagers, five of them nominated, were booked on charge of attacking a Multan Electric Power Company team in Saddar police precincts during a crackdown against power theft. Reports said a group of 25 people attacked Mepco officials, held them hostage and shared videos of the torture on social media. According to a written complaint submitted by one Shahbaz Ahmed Bhatti, the incident took place on Nov 26 during a crackdown on electricity theft.
