Police have arrested a rickshaw driver in Muzaffargarh for dangerously transporting 28 underage students in a single vehicle, putting their lives at serious risk.

A video circulating on social media shows the rickshaw moving along the road with several children sitting on its roof. The footage has raised concerns about the safety of schoolchildren and the risks posed by reckless driving and overloading.
Following the incident, City Alipur police took action against the driver, arrested him and registered a case over the dangerous transportation of the students.
Police personnel removed the children from the overloaded rickshaw to prevent a possible accident. They later arranged alternative rickshaws to safely transport the students to their homes.
