Like so many other expatriate Pakistanis regretting their return to the home country, a Canadian national of Pakistan origin received a ‘welcome to the neighbourhood’ thrashing when he asked a man, to drive carefully.

According to the Sadiqabad police, Dr Ahmed Amin said that he was returning from his uncle’s home in the Wazir Badshah area to his house in Sadiqabad with his mother. An unidentified motorcyclist hit the elderly woman near Aik Minar Wali Masjid.

The complainant said: “I asked the biker to be careful, but instead of apologizing, he shouted out and soon around 16 other people came and started beating me with punches, kicks and sticks.”

Dr Amin said when his mother tried to rescue him, they grabbed her by her white hair and threw her to the ground. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the incident.
